Can I change the value of include_path dynamically (at execution time)? How do I restore it back to what it was?

No, you cannot.  You can, however, set up a variable in your script 
which has the new** include path and then when you wish to include 
something concatinate the strings.
Why on earth would you want to change the include_path variable 
anyhow?  That would be a MAJOR security hole.  
**You can alter the include path anywhere <i>under</i> the include_path 
set in your setup/ini file.  This limitation is in place for security 
purposes.  And no, "..\\..\\..\\some_hacking_shell_script.php3" will 
not work.  :)
