Include functions.php

[bnowell]

I noticed a problem after upgrading to 1.7 from 1.5. I removed the includes for my functions.php from the theme files and received an error stating a function used in a component could not be found. The function is in my functions.php file, which is located in my theme folder. The fix was to edit the index.php file in the webroot. I moved the check and include for the local functions.php file above where you load the theme files. Worked out fine. Anyone else seen that behavior?
