Be sure that target path is readable by PHP interpreter (can be read by user running it).
If so, play with the "../" path, adding or substracting it from the include() string. for this one, removing it once should fix the problem, because you need to go 3 levels down:

include_once ('../../../dev/libraray/hp.php')

Use the actual server directory path.

ex. include('/home/username/include.php');

You should use something like $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in case you change the locations and folders or define a base path like define('BASE_URL', dirname($_SERVER["file_name"]));
