Re: [HTML_Template_Flexy] Push CMS ideas

That is really a nightmare to do in template engines, and it has a habit of producing upredictable results, which is why I generally avoided implementing it.. What you are talking about can be done using Flexy, anyway, basically writing a very simple callback for {includeCachedContent():h} and using Cache_Lite or whatever to either cache the output or the variables for the output..
