does a site get slower if you use to much includes? Like an include in an include in an include? Or doesn;t it matter??

As far as I know it doesn't matter. An include basically just "copies" the code in the included file into the source document.

The file size is determined by the amount of code in the file after everything has been included.

Thanx that's reassuring....

Only prob now is DW, he really can't handle to much includes... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I personally wouldn't go overboard with includes.

A few files written correctly, optimising the code will ensure you don't need to start stacking them inside one another.

Generally, I say it would get slower as it has to process all the given includes before anything else.

Just my opinion <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
