ah, i get it -- finally!!
i need object oriented programming if i hope to write the equivalent of
the coldfusion server
folks, thanks for all the lovely explanations
max, your example wins the prize as best illustrating my predicament
if i want to use an include, i go "include navbar.txt"
if i want to use a class, i say "dance, nav bar, dance" and go
"navbar.show()"
i still don't see the difference, but boy oh boy, i do hope they ask me this
on my next job interview
eric, you said i don't get any parameterable functions from the include
sure i do
<cfset team="da bears">
<cfset week=11>
<cfinclude listgames.txt>
if you're gonna say "hey, the listgames include needs to have a couple
variables set or else it won't work right," the answer is yes, if i wrote it
that way
ron, you make it sound like with classes the programmers can't screw up:

change that paragraph and say "includes" instead of "classes" and
you have exactly the same result, someone can use includes without
changing a line in them -- assuming they were written with that in mind,
which they would be, and assuming you know how to use them
