If you're talking about resolving includes every time a page is 
accessed, you should also keep in mind that that is counter to the point 
of mod_perl, and in some circumstances the compiled pages will be in 
memory as a previous version already.

I think you might be suprised at runtime by certain undesired behavior.

You could always do as kyle mentioned jsp does and use a uri style 
include, or you could forward to a different psp based on the $criteria 
in the page.

Just some half baked ideas.
