You're kidding, right? :)

Yes, include files have been a problem with ASP in the past. Not un-doable,
but not convenient. In the present/future with Win 2000, no longer as the
server-side command server.execute allows for dynamic conditional selection
of include files.

Prior to this it has been bit of a PITA, but not a make-it or break-it issue
when choosing a programming environment.

PHP has this feature already and that is one of the things I like about it.
And it's free, so it's really worth the price. But I do more asp than php .
. .

Cold Fusion? Does the niche have a future? I'm skeptical, devoted as some
folks are. Certainly the ability to conditionally include or not is not
going to save it!
