I probably answered this (although possibly with an internal perspective
that may not make sense when viewed from another perspective) in the
response I posted to your reply to Ian.

I can try to clarify that response better, but I think it is more to do
with decisions in how we have decided to work internally than anything to
do with FarCry specifically.

So far, where we have wanted the user to have a mechanism to provide some
type of parameters for an include, we have used a Custom Rule (e.g. the
number of items to display from the Aspect Huntley Financial News).

The concept was more from a programmers/developers perspective where there
may be multiple ways to trigger an include.  It would avoid creating up
different "shell" includes that hard coded the parameters.

Yes, although my third piece of functionality suggests a file mask that
people can configure.  This could also go in the same place as the config
paths variable.  For people who were NOT using the _ as a prefix they
would be able to change this to something different: e.g. *.cfm instead of
_*.cfm.

Yep - happy with that.  I would assume though that there would be a
default one of these - where would you want that live in the
object/variable structure?

application.customincludepath ?  And it would allow a comma separated list
?  And have a defaul there of "/includedObj" ?

Well I will definitely plan that into the mix as well then.
