Hello,
 
I am presently working on a project, that would be greatly simplified by performing what I will describe below.
 
Situation:
We are developing web sites, that will be owned by different companies, using the exact same .taf, each having their own database.  The variables within the .taf will allow them to have their own personalized look, and distinct information.  To state the obvious, much of the sites info and appearance is dynamic.  In the long term, there will be thousands of sites sharing an identical .taf.  Each time we make a change, we will be forced to copy the modified .taf into each and every site.  We will have enough of a challenge making changes, if a change requires that we add / modify a column to their database.
 
Problem:
During testing, I referenced a .taf that was working perfectly, in it's own folder, from a .taf in another folder, with the <@include file="displayTAF.taf"> tag, within a "Results" field.  The result that I got was:  
    first,  A header that said "Form Page" that I could not find with a "Find" search
    second, SQL info, in simple English, as acronyms.
    followed by, all the pages of the .taf, separated by "]]>" at the beginning and the end of each.
 
I then added the "_function" call, to specify a page, but got no results, at all.
 
My Question:
Is there a way for us to make a change to one page, where all the different web sites will benefit from the changes, shy of putting "<@INCLUDE file="">, everywhere on there site.  Realizing that this will only work for simple changes, and useless if structural changes are made.
 
Thank you,
Gerard
