[wp-hackers] Using WP_Query "outside" of Wordpress by including wp-load.php inside a function

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

For your particular use-case, you should be able to add
global $wpdb, $wp_query;
to before the include_once() line.

However, you may want to re-test under 3.8, I believe we altered a few
things in 3.7&3.8 to work better when included within a function..
