Ah, now i see. Yes, this is incredibly bad practice.
PSR-4 autoloading with Composer is really the only sensible way to deal with imports. There should only be a couple of script files in a project that are not classes. Maybe some bootstrapping script if vendor/autoload.php doesn't cut it and a front controller. Most frameworks also ship some sort of console script to run different commands. That should be enough.
There should be no need for require()s or include()s in other parts of the application.
