Which PHP version? Is the include_path listed correct (ie should the file be
there? Is it there?)

There was a bug in some older PHP versions which meant that PHP settings set
in one apache virtual host (eg the include path) carry across to other
vhosts. If the include_path is wrong, that's somewhere to look. Also I've
seen file access permissions change in strange ways under similar
circumstances, such that compiled templates are written but cannot later be
read or overwritten, so look for strange permissions or ownserships in the
templates_c directory.

I suspect that the path is correct, in which case Messju's comments may be
more appropriate.

For test purposes, try dumping the output from 'ls -la
/www/vhtdocs/ukds/templates_c' to your page immediately before you load the
problematic template, and see what's actually there before the include
fails.
