file.inc is called as a subroutine. It has its own scope.
To see the stack in an include, try
use Carp qw(cluck);
cluck("VIEW STACK");

with a call like $Response->Include($file, @args)
@args is available in the include as normal perl args like
# file.inc
<% my @args = @_; %>
You can also pass data to an include via globals, so
lets say you have set a global in your main script:
use vars qw( $Global );
$Global = 'value';
Then you could reference $Global in your include,
since includes and scripts are compiled into the same
perl package by default. Good practice for globals
use is to declare them in the global.asa, and use
Script_OnStart to initialize them. You could have
a global like %Vars that you use to pass around
generic script data, or construct a central application
object like $App there too. I would not create too
many globals, as this would be bad practice, but a few
key ones can be very helpful.
