[include] works fine in all situations where I've tried it, with the following warnings:1- If you're going to 'include' a file that has a creator code 'WWW‡, then you *must* place a tag at the top of the page ... or WebCat2 will not include it.2- If you're doing something more complicated with WebDNA than most people, then you may have some problems. I am passing a variable from a hyperlink to the results.tmpl. The results.tmpl has a bunch of
[showif] contexts, and there's a different

[showif] contexts. WebCat2 looks for the variable I passed to determine which
[showif] to show, and it hides all the others.The 'guts' of my results.tmpl (including all the
