The el-cheapo ASP-Fusebox I did was much tackier, it went like this
SELECT Case
Case = "Squid"
<!-- #FILE INCLUDE="dsp_squid.asp"-->
... and so on and so forth. I just used a ton of FILE INCLUDES to bring in
my pages. It seemed to work without the limitation you mention, although it
is an ugly way of working things.

> a. ASPBox is based on FuseBox (http://www.fusebox.org), a ColdFusion
> coding
> methodology. This guide is intended for developers who already
> understand the basics of Fusebox.
> b. A working global template mechanism that allows you to control the
> navigation and functionality of a site through one main script page.

> 3) Explain why this is not possible before asp 3, IIS 5 (vbscript
> engine
> version ?)
> a. Didn't allow server.execute function
> i. ASP did not allow dynamic include (whether surrounded by conditional
> if
> statements or through dynamic urls)
> ii. In IIS 5, server.execute function can act as a ColdFusion cfinclude.
> b. Didn't allow server.transfer function
> i. Although response.redirect was there, it added overhead of having to
> go
> back to IIS and then redirect; this function is identical to the
> cflocation
> tag in Cold Fusion. Would this mean a performance improvement in ASP
> creating redirects than in ColdFusion ?)

> 4) Knowing all passed variables can be accessed through one scope save
> quite
> a bit of time. The ASP request object has 2 types of scopes, form(form)
> and
> querystring(url.) If, while calling the object, these are omitted (as they
> are above),
> they will take their correct precedence order (forms overide urls.) This

> if Len(request("action")) = 0 or session.userid = 0 or request("action")

> server.execute "default.asp?action=dsp_login "
> else
> if request("action") <> "act_check_action" then
> server.execute "default.asp?action=act_check_action&name=" &
> request("action")
> end if
> server.execute request("action") & ".asp"
