I'm not quite sure what you're getting at but if you want a deferred 
#include you can do this with #templet/#eval.  (#macro won't work since 
they are evaluated at build time.)

For example:

#templet $dynaIncl { \#include as template \$file }
#eval $dynaIncl using { "file": "myfile.wmt" }

With the newest version of #eval in CVS you can do this in one step:

#eval "\#include as template \$file" using { "file": "myfile.wmt" }

Note the need for backslashes to escape the # and $ chars.  Otherwise 
they will get evaluated prior to the #eval.

Hope this helps.
