Normally, you bind all file extensions that are intended to go to a specific handler, in the _Apache_ configuration. Any file extension not bound it processed by the default handler (which knows about common file extensions already and sends the correct content-type headers automatically). This has absolutely nothing to do with the _WebDNA_ configuration setting for what file extensions should be processed. '.inc' is commonly used by a number of different server-side scripting packages, so there isn't anything specific to WebDNA that would require it to bind that extension unless you want to standardize on that for your sites. And before you get overly paranoid, it isn't really a security lapse to /not/ bind '.inc' to WebDNA, since you need to already know the full filename/path, and this will not be visible in processed WebDNA pages. Have your site admin add .inc (and any other odd extensions you might want to use) to the WebDNA conf file and restart Apache and you should be good to go...
