When using pdfpages with revtex, all pages in the original document change from portrait to landscape upon simply including the package via \usepackage{pdfpages}. This is a MWE illustrating the issue:
\documentclass{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
Some text
\end{document}
This issue does not occur with \documentclass{article}.
