Re: use of CSP:INCLUDE

As includes can only include csp pages it makes sense to restrict the extension to .csp. The file include is there to do textual includes before compile and it is expected those are external files hence the good programming recommendation. From our side - unofficially as we only provide mappings for recognizing .csp and .cls it makes sense that these are the only extensions recognized by the compiler. Although I agree changing it if it worked is not correct.

ok, so doing some more testing
I created a simple page
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Include</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> this is the main body</h1>
<csp:include page='Include/InsideInclude.inc'>
<csp:include page='Include/InsideInclude.csp'>
</body>
</html>
and then inside the    Include/InsideInclude.inc    page a simple line
             <H1> now inside INC</h1>
and  inside the    Include/InsideInclude.csp      page a simple line
             <H1> now inside CSP</h1>
when you run the file, all you get is the contents of the CSP extension. if you change the syntax to:  both extensions work,

inside the  documentation, it mentions "good programming practice to use the INC extension" but no mention inside the CSP:INCLUDE documentation,

seems like intersystems has changed the rules, introduced a bug and forgot to tell anyone. I've raised a bug alert within intersystems
thanks for the help
