No, the entire 'include()'ed file is parsed for PHP.

So, you can have your main PHP page do this:

  Hello <? echo $name; ?>!<p>
  <? include("stuff.php"); ?>
  Goodbye!<p>


And then "stuff.php" could be something like:

  So tell me,
  <? if ($gender == "Male")
     {
       echo "Mr.";
     }
     else
     {
       echo "Mrs/Ms.";
     }
  ?>

  <? echo $name; ?>, what do you think of my website!?<p>
