If the directory exists, sure. But be aware that PHP accesses the files
directly through the filesystem. The above would start from the root
directory of the filesystem, not the document root of the webserver. If
you want to start from the document root you can use something like
this:

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/file.php';

It's also possible to access files outside the document root:

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../include/file.php';
