foreach loop does not work with include - php

Question

Would someone of you know why I'm not able to use a (long)piece of code within a foreach loop?
The code in the foreach loop is only executed once.
This code at topictweets.php works fine on its own but I want to repeat it for each forum.
The foreach loop works fine without the include. I also tried to have the code from topic tweets.php plainly in the foreach loop, this didn't work either of course.
The code it includes is used to get topics of a forum from the database and find related tweets, and save those in the database.
Is there some other way to do this?
foreach ($forumlist as $x => $fID) {
echo 'id:'.$fID.'<br>';
include 'topictweets.php';
/////////
////////
}
online version: http://oudhollandsedrop.nl/webendata/FeedForum/fetchtweets.php
bunch of code in topic tweets.php
<?php
//?/ VVVV ---- SELECT TOPICS FOR CURRENT FORUM ----- VVVV ////
echo $fID;
$sql = "SELECT Topics_TopicID
FROM Topics_crosstable
WHERE Forums_ForumID = '$fID'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
//echo 'The topiclist could not be displayed, please try again later.';
} else {
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
// echo 'This topic doesn′t exist.';
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
//display post data
// echo $row['Topics_TopicID'];
// echo': ';
$topic = "SELECT Name
FROM Topics
WHERE TopicID = " . mysql_real_escape_string($row['Topics_TopicID']);
$topicname = mysql_query($topic);
if (!$topicname) {
// echo 'The topic could not be displayed, please try again later.';
} else {
if (mysql_num_rows($topicname) == 0) {
// echo 'This topic doesn′t exist.';
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($topicname)) {
//display post data
// echo $row['Name'];
// echo'<br>';
$topiclist[] = $row['Name'];

Answer 1

"Pasting" a bunch of code inside a loop isn't a great practice. In fact, what you're looking for is a function or the use of a defined class. So, if you can, define a function in your topictweets.php that will contain your code and use it in your loop:
include 'topictweets.php';
foreach ($forumlist as $x => $fID) {
echo 'id:'.$fID.'<br>';
processYourForums($fID);
/////////
////////
}

Answer 2

try include_once()
however, why not have a loop within topictweets.php?
you can do the query, etc.. in this page, but then loop through it in the include

Answer 3

This should work fine:
include 'topictweets.php';
foreach ($forumlist as $x => $fID) {
echo 'id:'.$fID.'<br>';
}
You only need to include once.
