The errors look like you are trying to go one level above the script's location, but that would make sense because that is where your inc folder is.
I suppose you have double checked that func.php is still there? Have the permissions been changed on the inc folder? That is the only thing I can think safe mode would affect, but it should have thrown an error reflecting that if it was a permission issue and your code was attempting to change the permissions. Just for grins, I would check the permermissions anyway. I work in safe mode, and have never had any problem including files from other directories, so the only authoritative answer I could give you is 'I dunno'. 🙂
