Keep in mind when including there are two ways (maybe more) to do it.
If you use the extension .jsp on a file you include in another jsp, then
that jsp page is being compiled as a separate .class file. Thus, you in
effect do a servlet chain from your jsp page, to that jsp page, and back. If
you give it an extension like .inc, you in effect inline include it right
into the processing of your jsp page. The result is a larger single .class
file, but you get better performance. These days I am willing to sacrafice
size for speed.
