Answer 1

• Make sure your salesforce_auth module is installed and enabled.
• Make sure where you have written the call to module_load_include and if it is called indeed?
• Check the output of module_load_include to see if it returns TRUE or FALSE.
• If it returns FALSE, run the lines of module_load_include one by one, to see which path it goes ending up with FALSE? This will give you a clue of the reason behind the problem.
