[AWS] Quick question about Templates_Parser

This is not supported at the moment and will be quite difficult to do. The
point is that the include file is compiled in-memory. Here you do not know its
name, so it will be tricky to setup the include file into the tree especially
with the cache feature.

Well, in many cases I think that something like:

@@IF@@ @_SOME_PAGE_TO_INCLUDE_@ = "xyz"
   @@INCLUDE@@ "xyz"
@@ELSIF@@ ...

would do the trick. You won't be able to include a page that is not physically
on the disk anyway, so having to list all of them should not be a big problem.
