php define to include file

Question

I want to know if and how I can define a file to be included.

for e.g.

<?php
//define('_login',inlcude('file.php'));
define('_login',include('file.php')); // edited due to typo..
?>

or would I need to do it this way

<?php
define('_login','file.php');
include(_login);
?>

the reason I ask is My site allows plugins and I want other developers to overwrite a define to include their plugin instead of the core _login define.

This one should be Ok:

<?php
define('_login','file.php');
include(_login);
?>

Event can't imagine what will happen in first case. Maybe if you return something from file - that value will be used?

you have to use it like this

<?php
// works
if ((include 'vars.php') == 'OK') {
    echo 'OK';
}
?>
