Joshua,
To use a request-time value for jsp:include you need to do:
<jsp:include page='<%= basedir + "/includetxt.jsp" %>' />
i.e. the page parameter has to be either a string or a request-time
expression, you can't mix and match.
The single quotes are there so the double quotes won't confuse the parser.
