The argument order in module_load_incude is frustratingly stupid.

module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.admin');

It requires devs (even those of us who use this thing all the time) to continue to look up the order because it's so non-intuitive. Ideally, this function would not be specific to modules, and would allow you to specify the entire file name as a single argument. something like...

backdrop_load_include('module', 'node.admin.inc');

We could even go one step further and always limit the search for .tpl.php files to the modulename/templates or themename/templates directory, .css files to modulename/css or themename/css and .js files to modulename/js or themename/js. This pattern can be extended to anything else we decide to neatly place into subdirectories (.test files in modulename/tests, etc).

This issue will depend on the addition of the BC layer, and the dupal.inc file.
