A good IDE editor will have trace backs for methods used, you can follow it back if it's extending something.

This might be a stupid question but what the hell. Say for example I have a routes.php file, or any other file for that example. I want to find out where this file is being included so I can trace it back to the very root of the framework.(If that makes sense, english isn't my mother tongue.)
How would I go about doing this?
