Given that you can do code such as the following, I'd have to say that CF
doesn't include the file until it actually gets to the line:
<CFIF thisFlag>
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="#SomethingDynamic#.cfm">
</CFIF>
Tangentially, I've also noticed that if I do CFModule calls with static
filenames that don't exist, I get compile-time errors. But, if the
filenames are dynamic then I don't get errors until run-time. That is:
<CFSET FileName="foo.cfm"><!--- does not exist! --->
<CFMODULE TEMPLATE="foo.cfm"><!--- compile-time error --->
<CFMODULE TEMPLATE="#FileName#"><!--- run-time error --->
I'm guessing they do a bit of optimization in there somewhere. Where's a
CFS programmer when you need one? :)

Subject: CFINCLUDE... compiler question
take the following code:
<cfif thisFlag>
<cfinclude template="thisFile.cfm">
</cfif>
Will ColdFusion evaluate the expression first before it includes the
file -OR- will it include the file before it evaluates the expression?
in other words, does CF say "ok, thisFlag is false, so i won't evaluate
what's in the include file" or will it say "before i look at this, i need to
include everything first"?
thanx for any response
mike
