I think it has something to do with the required file must return a positive output or something. My server used to tell me something like that when I didn't put it at the end.
Yes, it is especially important for sub-routines, so the master file knows where it ends.
However good programming habits prevent frustrations and screw ups.
If you have an included file, subroutine or not, add the 1; to save yourself a potential headache.

1;? I think thats just another way of saying exit. But who knows, some people are weird.

And NOTHING can go after it. AT ALL.
1; is vital as the last line of any required file. It tells the master file that the required file EXISTS.

I do have required files without 1;
And they work fine, the main script still include the file when compiling

I too have required files in scripts before and never added 1 to the end but I saw it in one of the ubb files and always wondered what it meant.

I just figured out the REAL meaning of it.
It seems that when you are using sub routines in a seperate file from the script you have to put the 1; at the end so it will work correctly.

I know I always put 'Mom' in the end of my scripts.
Umm.. Turn that camera off!

What if I don't? Will the sub work okay? I tried & they seem fine!
