The concept of templates is to separate the HTML from the logic.
If you start putting logic in the template (whether that's embedded
PHP code or some sort of IF tag) you're creating something *very*
complicated.

Much better (IMHO) to program the logic into the PHP script and
use the template to control the layout of the page.

I have seen one or two cases where if clauses and loops appeared to
be suitable in a template, but in each case I thought the overall
result was more complicated to maintain and configure than it would
have been with the logic all in the PHP application.

My rant isn't particularly relevant in your situation, as the job
you want done is perfectly suited to the existing template.inc :)
