Since you cant (make processing-instruction), do this instead:

(sosofo-append (make formatting-instruction
		     data: "<?php require(\"")
	       (do-something-with-the-required-file)
	       (make formatting-instruction
		     data: "\"); manualHeader(\"")
	       (do-something-with-the-section-heading)
	       (make formatting-instruction
		     data: "\"); ?>"))

HTH,
Chris
