well,

if the above was copy paste, you're definitely missing closing braces 
for stdWarp as well as require_once.

if not it depends. are you writing a plugin, user object or core class 
extension?

i think an extension should keep all files inside the extension folder.
then you could do something like
require_once(t3lib_extMgm::extPath($_EXTKEY).'subFolderIfYouWish/yourFile.php');

plugins can get values directly via typoscript.
if you do:
plugin.tx_myextension_pi1 = USER_INT
plugin.tx_myextension_pi1 {
    userFunc = tx_myextension_pi1->main
    path = /whatevet/path
}

you' can do $config['path'] in the plugins main() function

for similar options on custom scripts read:
