DIR_WS_INCLUDES is pointless

Below is a list of all the files in version 1.5 that use a hard-coded 'includes' directory instead of the configured DIR_WS_INCLUDES. Besides, that should be a file path, not a web path, as it's used for including/requiring application files. If the includes directory is moved for security and version clarity, look at all the files that would require modification.

application_top.php:64: if (file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) {
application_top.php:68:   include('includes/local/configure.php');
application_top.php:94: if (file_exists('includes/configure.php')) {
application_top.php:98:   include('includes/configure.php');
application_top.php:141: require('includes/initsystem.php');
application_top.php:145: if (( (!file_exists('includes/configure.php') && !file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) ) || (DB_TYPE == '') || (!file_exists('includes/classes/db/' .DB_TYPE . '/query_factory.php')) || !file_exists('includes/autoload_func.php')) {
application_top.php:145: if (( (!file_exists('includes/configure.php') && !file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) ) || (DB_TYPE == '') || (!file_exists('includes/classes/db/' .DB_TYPE . '/query_factory.php')) || !file_exists('includes/autoload_func.php')) {

application_top.php:154: require('includes/autoload_func.php');
sessions.php:54:       if (!class_exists('queryFactory')) require('includes/classes/db/' .DB_TYPE . '/query_factory.php');
