include "" vs $this->load->library()

Thanks for the info. I'm sure it will become clearer as I start development proper.

With regards to moving the app folder (I must admit, I personally like this approach) how do I configure CI to know about this?

I had a look in the front controller file index.php and it looks like it should work (to just move the application directory up one level) as it's setting first a root-level application folder, then falling back to a system-level application folder... but when I run my controllers and views, variables are now longer bring passed from the controller to the view correctly.

Any clues!?

Thanks,
Dave
