What are the potential pitfalls of including multiple text files in PHP and how can conflicts be resolved?

Including multiple text files in PHP can lead to conflicts if the files contain overlapping variable or function names. To resolve this, you can namespace your variables and functions within each text file to avoid naming collisions. 

// File 1
namespace File1;

$variable1 = "Text from file 1";

function function1() {
    return "Function from file 1";
}

// File 2
namespace File2;

$variable2 = "Text from file 2";

function function2() {
    return "Function from file 2";
}
