Whether it seems right or not, that is what happens. The template is
parsed at compile time and directives like "include" are processed then.
At rendering time the various if-conditions are tested and the right
branch taken. So, basically, the {% include %} tag is part of the
compilation process, not part of the rendering stage.
You can't do recursive includes with that tag. You will need to write
your own (although I wouldn't be too surprised if somebody else has
already done that) if you want to have recursive inclusions.
