You can't. If you don't include or require it, PHP has no idea what's there. You can use .htaccess or php.ini to automatically include a file, which is identical to including it with require or include.

For example in .htaccess

php_value auto_prepend_file "/full/path/to/a/prepend-file.php"

In php.ini

  auto_prepend_file = "/full/path/to/a/prepend-file.php"

Read it into a string and eval it.

$code = file_get_contents("somefile.php");
eval($code);

Copy and paste it. But mind the license.
