I still don't see, Jonathan, why you don't just use code in your include which catches the mime types and deals with them? Why is the include important to you in the first instance? I think the people in this list might be able to help you, if we knew what the facets of the problem are. This sounds like a problem that can be solved, but I am not sure what the situation is.
