    default:
    echo "error"; die();

Answer 1

You cannot pass parameters when including like that, include does not make an HTTP request.

The most minimal solution, although I do not recommend it, is to simply set the parameters yourself so that trackinglogs.php finds them:

$_GET['todo'] = 'setcookie';
include_once('trackinglogs.php');

A much better solution would be to put the code that tracks logs inside a function, and call that providing this operating parameters at the same time. So you 'd have something like:

<?php    
function track($action) {
    switch($action) {    
        case "setcookie":    
        echo "hi";die();    
        break;    

        default:    
        echo "error"; die();    
        break;    
}    

And you would do:

include_once('trackinglogs.php');
track('setcookie');
