[thelist] dim variables in include file (traditional ASP)

[Canfield, Joel]

In an effort to create code modules I'm putting oft used snippets in
include files. But it appears to be parsing the VBScript before the
includes, resulting in 'variable is undefined' errors, among other
things.

Googling hasn't turned up an answer, but perhaps I don't know what I'm
looking for.

This all seems so obvious, but Best Beloved is pretty sick and I didn't
get as much sleep as us old folks are used to.

Ideas?

thanks
