I know it's "nice to have" clever features, but considering that there are only a finite number of options and that in most cases these are set only once for a particular build, I don't think we need it. I can understand Brian's intended use for include (but think that they could be OK without it), but there aren't really that many options or situations where you might need such a degree of flexibility for a couple of options. Most of the options can be set within a PHP script anyway. --Wez.
