Using __DIR__ and __FILE__ constants do not work in a symlinked situation. What is the workaround for this?
For example:
I have a file:
/home/me/modules/myfile.php
It is symlinked to:
/var/www/project/app/myfile.php
from in /home/me/modules/myfile.php i need to include a file that is located in /var/www/project
EDIT
To the suggestions of using realpath() - unfortunately this does not work.
var_dump(__DIR__);
var_dump(realpath(__DIR__));
both return exactly the same filepath

The PHP interpreter resolves symlinks before it processes them. You can do this yourself with the readlink function. PHP resolves the links because it's more efficient for *_once functions and code caches like APC, Xcache etc.
Consider having two files in a directory called inc, which is a subfolder of our project's directory, where the index.php file lies − from the index.php, it runs successfully.

Have you tried the following?
dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])
In your case this will return: /var/www/project/app
