Can I give you a better explanation of what I'm trying to do, along with my latest code?
The pages on this site focus on various nations and states, with lots of links like this:
[LOCAL] ../world/na/us/wy/index.php (World/North America/United States/Wyoming)
[REMOTE] www.politix.org/world/na/us/wy/
Each page will feature several prominent instances of the name of a country or state, which I can facilitate by using 'MyName', such as the title (MyName = Canada, or Wyoming), along with several instances of its abbreviation, which is used in several URLs and in the top banner; for example, this is the top banner for Alaska: <img src="../images/banners/ak.gif" width="200" height="150" alt="" />
Below is the entire head section from the main page. Notice that it's mostly a series of variable statements ('MyName', 'MyCountry', etc.), followed by an included page (head), which is essentially the REAL head section.
I inserted one of the functions you suggested - $includea1 = TRUE; - after the include, but I'm sure I did it wrong.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<?php
$myname = 'MyName';
$mynickname = 'MyNickname';
$mycontinent = 'North America';
$mycountry = 'United States';
$mystate = 'MyState';
$postcode = 'wy';
$linkcontinent = '/na';
$linkcountry = '/us';
$linkstate = '/wy';
$periods = '../../../../';
$linkwebring = '/world/na/us/wy/';
include ("../../../../includes/head.php");
$includea1 = TRUE;
?>
</head>
* * * * * * * * * *
And here's the included page:
<?php
$todayDate = date("m-d-Y");
echo '<title>Freedomware > ' . $statename . '</title>';
echo '<meta name="description" content="' . $statename . ' versus Microsoft" />';
echo '<meta name="keywords" content="' . $statename . ' versus Microsoft" />';
echo '<meta name="mssmarttagspreventparsing" content="true" />';
echo '<meta http-equiv="content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />';
echo '<meta name="author" content="David Blomstrom" />';
echo '<script src="' . $periods . 'js/swapclass.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
echo '<script src="' . $periods . 'js/ss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
echo '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>';
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
if ($includea1) echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent . '/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/na/north.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/themes/peace.css" rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Peace" />';
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/themes/war.css" rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" title="War" />';
echo '<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="../../../../us/aaa/favicon.ico" />'
?>
Note that two of my style sheets are named css/a1.css and css/na/a1.css (na is short for North America). Maybe I should rename the second a1 to avoid confusion, though I'd prefer to tackle it head on and learn how to deal with this situation. (Does $includea1 = TRUE; refer to css/a1.css or css/na/a1.css?)
So here's what I have at present:
* * * * * * * * * *
The first line denotes style sheet css/a1.css, preceded by ". $periods .", which can be replaced by ../../ or ../../../, depending on the folder level:
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
* * * * * * * * * *
The second line denotes style sheet css/na/a1.css, preceded by "if ($includea1)," which I'm probably using incorrectly:
if ($includea1) echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent . '/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
Note, also, that I inserted ". $linkcontinent .", which will be replaced by na/ (North America) on this particular main page.
In summary, it looks like I need to fix two things:
MAIN PAGE
$linkwebring = '/world/na/us/wy/';
include ("../../../../includes/head.php");
$includea1 = TRUE;
?>
</head>INCLUDED PAGE
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
if ($includea1) echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent . '/a1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
echo '<link href="' . $periods . 'css/na/north.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';
* * * * * * * * * *
I hope that isn't too confusing. It's actually becoming a lot clearer for me; I'm just temporarily confused.
Thanks!

Euch! Very long-winded and inefficient. Much better is:
$includemiddle = $pagetoshow!='withoutmiddle';

Likewise -- this can be written more efficiently and more readbly as simply:
if ($includemiddle)
(Since $includemiddle will be TRUE or FALSE, you can use it directly in the if () -- retrieving its value and comparing it against TRUE gives TRUE if $includemiddle is, er, TRUE, and FALSE if it's FALSE, so doing the comparison just wastes CPU time to reproduce the value you first thought of.)
I wrowte:
I have a couple more questions, though. First, how do I turn this exclude function off on a page where I do NOT want to ban style sheet na/a1?
I tried deleting the following on the main page:
if($pagetoshow == 'withouta1'){ $includea1 = FALSE; }else{ $includeaa1 = TRUE; //(or false depending) }
Then I changed TRUE and FALSE in various combinations, but it didn't work.

Simple -- if you have a page where you want a1 to be unconditionally included, set the variable to TRUE unconditionally:
$includea1 = TRUE;
Similarly, if you want it to be unconditionally blocked:
$includea1 = FALSE;
The include file will test the value of $includea1 as before, and include it or not as you've specified.
