extending functions.php in my child-theme

I created a child-theme for buddypress using the default template.

Everything worked until I tried adding in the following to my child-theme functions.php file

require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/functions/custom_functions.php');

I created the /includes/functions/custom_functions.php file within the child theme folder, but it’s not picking it up.

Does bp not understand TEMPLATEPATH? Or am I just missing something really stupid here?

The reason I want to use includes is that I add a lot of functionality to the backend, and like to stay organized by using multiple included php functions files. I just find it much easier to maintain then putting everything into one huge functions.php file.

bump: is there a different way to include secondary function files within a child theme?

I’ve tried many different ways to include templatepath, but none are working…

please advise.

Try STYLESHEETPATH.

I think I remember reading a better solution somewhere, but I can’t remember it off the top of my head.
