What are the potential drawbacks of using multiple includes and assignments in PHP scripts?

Using multiple includes and assignments in PHP scripts can lead to confusion, readability issues, and potential conflicts between included files. To solve this problem, you can encapsulate your code within a function or class to keep related code together and prevent namespace collisions.

// Encapsulate code within a function
function myFunction() {
    include 'file1.php';
    include 'file2.php';
    
    $var1 = 'value1';
    $var2 = 'value2';
    
    // Rest of your code here
}

// Call the function to execute the code
myFunction();
