Thanks Coopster.
I had added the dir already, but was not able to reach it
adding your suggestion did it!
(yes it is a PLESK)

<edit> Forgot to mention</edit>
I reach the dir from a config script
using your:
ini_set('include_path',
realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../any_dir/')
. PATH_SEPARATOR
. ini_get ('include_path'));

include("aaaa.inc.php");
