Vijay – thanks so much! Similarly, I discovered that using include_once() rather than include() did the trick.

Javier, thanks so much! I now call wp_remote_get($url) directly from MICplugins.php; works fine.
However, if I may ask another WP 101 question:
Suppose I have an ordinary text file, local rather than remote, call it parameters.csv, in my Plugin folder along with MICplugins.php itself. I wish to read its contents into a PHP string, then together with wp_remote_get($url)’s contents and date/time, construct my web page’s contents.
But I can find no PHP method listed in codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference with which to do a local text read into a string, such a common thing. What have I missed?
I do however see in https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/ the method get_file($path) whose sources are found in wp-admin/includes/noop.php. Can or should I use this method? plugins_url() generates the correct path to parameters.csv, but get_file($path) fails; don’t know why.
Thank you again, Moab Mike D
