Two On-Rev Scripts on One Web Page

[Mike Bonner]

What you're trying to do should work fine, my suspicion is that there are
mismatched tags somewhere, or something that is messing up the output. Since
it works in the first its most likely not the included file thats the
problem, tho I guess it could introduce something funky that cases later
stuff to misbehave.

Devins suggestion might help you out here though.  If you want to be able to
put the same information several places on the page you can define it as a
command or function in your include file.

command myspecialcommand
put the date
end myspecialcommand

Then include this file (it can contain multiple commands and functions so
that it behaves as  a library)

At which point anytime you want to put out the text generated by
myspecialcommand you can do it like

<?rev myspecialcommand ?> and it will.

You will still have potential issues with mismatched tags etc that can munge
your output,  but only including the file once can simplify things in my
opinion.

As for tracking down the issue, if you try something and it behaves as you
describe, viewing the source of the page in the browser is a good start
towards solving it.  Look at the source and see where it breaks, the look at
your code and see what is just before and after that location.
