Hi Ron

Try using ini_set to switch on errors:

ini_set("display_errors", true);

in terms of the path, if this '_includes/classes/etc' works, but 
'validation/_includes/classes/etc' doesn't, try:

require_once('../validation/includes/classes/etc/validation/VaidationSet.php');

Paul's suggestion of using the document root variable for all includes 
is really handy too.
