$imx_includes = array(

'/lib/redux-framework/redux-framework.php',

'/lib/redux-framework/config/redux-config.php',

'/lib/section/about.php',

'/lib/section/skills.php',

);

foreach($imx_includes as $file){

if(!$filepath = locate_template($file)) {

trigger_error("Error locating `$file` for inclusion!", E_USER_ERROR);

}

require_once $filepath;

}

unset($file, $filepath);
