Is it good practice to inject HTML code using require_once (); in the middle of HTML?
Example:
<div id="col_left">
<?php require_once ('../application/top_sidebar.php'); ?>
</div>

Yes it is, after all that's why that function exists and including chunk of html that way is very common practice for example including header, sidebars, footer, etc to construct your templates.
That much php code is even permissible in MVC design pattern where you try to put minimum of php code inside the html.

As this seems to be used in a page template, I think you can be sure not to call it more than once so you can use a simple require and save the _once check.
