I created a class that includes some others files

require_once('APIUtils.php');

in different functions.

The question is:

Is it better to call require at the top of the class or to choice each one in each function?

Because I've like 20 require in 40 functions.

if you have that many requires.. I'd wager a bet to say you need some restructuring ... – treyBake Jun 18 '19 at 12:38
