There's no built in way to do that. I would recommend packaging your code up into a directory and distributing it that way. I do this with PHP, I place the code into a directory "something.module", and then have iterate through a modules directory, including the main file underneath each .module directory. But for something more simple, you could just have a structure like:

my_package/
  my_package.php
  include1.php
  include2.php

my_package.php would include(realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/inclue1.php')). All other scrits would just have to include('my_packahe/my_package.php')
