Huh?  include(), and most of PHP's native procedural functions, does not 
throw an exception.  So the try/catch in your example does nothing.

You _could_ do something along these lines, though...

function try_include($file) {
    ini_set('track_errors', 1);
    $php_errormsg = '';
    $result = @include($file);
    if ($php_errormsg != '') {
        throw new Exception('Problem including ' . $file);
    }
    return $result;
}

try
{
    try_include('exists.inc');
    try_include('does_not_exist.inc');
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit;
}
