Yes the include mechanisms would operate before skinning,
at the content gathering stage.
Another way would be to create a project sitemap to add the content
(before skinning). The sitemap can deal with adding different content
for different URL patterns.
There was a example about this recently on the mailing lists.
The user was over-riding the core *.html pipeline for certain
docs. The relevant aggregation happens around line 508 of
$FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap in forrest_07_branch
and the subsequent match. You would need to copy this to your
project sitemap and add an extra map:part for your new content
nugget. See the recent mailing list example.
Perhaps you have some pages that need specialised content.
Another way is to add a specific match to generate the
content via your project sitemap. Here is something from
a new howto i have been developing about scraping html
from other webpages. This just operates on one specific page
but it could match a set of pages.
<map:match pattern="asx-announce.xml">
<map:aggregate element="watchlist-and-tables">
<map:part src="{project:resources}/watchlist-asx.xml"/>
<map:part src="cocoon:/get-asx-announce-today"/>
</map:aggregate>
[1] <map:transform
src="{project:resources.stylesheets}/asx-announce-to-internal.xsl" />
<map:serialize type="xml-document"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="get-asx-announce-today">
<map:generate type="html"
src="http://asx.com.au/asx/statistics/todayAnnHeaders.jsp"; />
<map:transform
src="{project:resources.stylesheets}/asx-announce-today-to-table.xsl" />
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
The stylesheet at [1] produces Forrest internal xdoc format.

There are ways to get extra content into the xml stream
before the skinning stage, using Cocoon sitemap aggregation.
See above.
As you can see, it will be a lot easier with the new Dispatcher.

I don't understand why you keep asking about this
class=fork thing. There is a demonstartion of the
ability in a 'forrest seed-sample' site:
samples/sample.html#link-class
and in the reference documentation
http://forrest.apache.org/dtdx/document-v20.html#link-class
Are you sure that you are using document-v20?

This sounds like a basic forrest user error.
Define "lenya-zone" in your site.xml

But that is what you want - the class=fork is there.

Everything that you want to do can be done with the
existing Forrest.
