Yes there is - you'll need to write a server side script which detects
the referer (it's the HTTP_REFERER server variable and comes in as
the full URL of the previous page) and then outputs the appropriate
data, rather than a simple include.

You might actually find the DOCUMENT_URI variable more useful,
as that tells you where you *are*, rather than where you've come from.

Cheers
Martin
