[wp-testers] Conditional tags not working

[Nathan Rice]

OK, something simple and straightforward ...

Let's say I want to create an admin settings page. I have the code loaded in
a separate file, and want to use the functions.php file to include it, but
there's no need to load the code into memory when viewing the front-end
(non-admin). So, I wrap the include in conditional tags ...

<?php
if(!is_admin())
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH.'/admin_menu.php');
?>

That code does NOT work.

Or, let's say I want to move the comment reply script call from the
header.php to the functions.php, where it really belongs ...

<?php
if(is_singular())
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
?>

See? And please don't tell me to write a custom function and use hooks.
That's not the issue here. The issue is the fact that conditionals aren't
working properly. I'm almost positive that this used to work, which is why
I'm wondering why it's not working now.
