David, I've never tried this yet, but in theory it should work.
create a file object, then read the file into a string through the textstream object.
Next execute the contents of the string. I think this is going to have quite a bit of
overhead though. You will probably also have to use response.write in the included
file for outputing html.

Subject: Re: Fused ASP
I, too, am moving into an ASP-shop job. I have done very little sniffing,
but one of the major snafus in ASP (VBScript, really) is the lack of an
"include" function that doesn't run before compile time. That is, to
include a file in ASP, you have to use SSI (<!---#include
file="filename.asp" -->), which occurs before the ASP engine gets to look at
the page. That means that your conditionals will not decide whether or not
to include the file, they will decide whether or not to process the code
that has already been included. That's poopy. Major overhead increase.
If anyone knows of a way to work around that issue, I might consider not
trying to get my new employer to switch to CF or PHP or JSP. Otherwise, I
am planning on being a rebel without a clue...
