How does this make the include dynamic. It would make it switchable, but
dynamic to me means something that is alterable at the time of execution
as in "include xxx" where xxx is a variable. Besides, at the moment, all

found in the main line of the code, what would change that would cause
the item to be included/not included since the main line of code does not
repeat itself. I see the need for dynamic includes, but I'd like to know what
this is intended to accomplish. I'm sure there is something obvious here
