Use this to include ReduxFramework in your theme or plugin. It will ensure the ReduxFramework Plugin loads first. If not present your local copy will be used. This way there's no cross-over and if the user has the plugin they always get the newest version.

frameworkinit.php

<?php
/*
	This can be included in your functions.php file. It checks to make sure the plugin is not activated. Please note,
	if you have the plugin in any other directory than redux-framework (ie, you installed via the Github Repo), this will not function.
*/
include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' ); // Comment this line if within template files, IE required in files like functions.php
