That's true. Sorry about that, I was mixing up the Includes 
folders/files location. The "file call" in a plugin that I had edited 
before WAS the wp-admin/includes...

For example only:

Change this:
include_once (ABSPATH.’/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);

To This:
include_once (ABSPATH.’/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php’);

So you're right Jacob. Thanks for pointing it out. =)

I agree with you. I think it'd be nicer to have most of them combined, 
however, it would really become a messy situation. Not to mention 
digging through HUGE amounts of code to "change up" things later down 
road or whatever. I love the "FIND / REPLACE" feature in Notepad2 and 
MetaPad, but, I don't think that'd be a nice thing to do while going 
through THAT MUCH code lmao.
