I am trying to include a template file into a loop i made in a shortcode, in a plugin. Everything shows up fine when the template is actually pasted into the loop, but to make things neat I want to separate it into it's own file.

I created a file called hi.php and it's located in a plugin subfolder called parts.

Here is the code I place in the loop, but it is not loading the template:

include plugins_url( '/parts/hi.php', __FILE__ );

I do it like this:

// Inclusion of additional php files
define( 'MYPLUG_DIR', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) );

require_once( MYPLUG_DIR . 'hi.php' );

It lets you use that more easily if you have to include several files.
