users and userc not mirrors

[Malatesa]

I've got some working code, except for the $users structure.. it's not being respected on new page loads. I'm stumped.

<?php
require_once '../users/init.php';

require_once $abs_us_root.$us_url_root.'users/includes/template/prep.php';

if(isset($user) && $user->isLoggedIn()){
echo "hokay";
die;
}

This is the top of the page inside users/wall.php

This is what is at the top of most user-facing pages in users folder

I noticed when saving a wall post and inserting a row into the wall table, this doesn't exist: $user->data()->id

Any suggestions helpful.
