problem with includes

hi,
i have a file "template.asp" where i include 2 files "file1.asp" and "file2.asp"
i have to include the "file3.asp" in the "file1.asp" and "file2.asp"

when i run the file "template.asp" it says that i had redefined the variable X (defined in the "file3.asp")

.....template.asp
...........|
........../\
......../....\
....../....... \
file1.asp file2.asp
......\......../
........\..../
..........\/
...........|
......file3.asp

can any one help me ??
those ASP has something like the "include once " in PHP
best regards,

It means you've got two "Dim" statements re-declaring the same variable.

Like:

In template.asp you've got a line that says

Dim strWhatever
strWhatever = "whatever"

but in file3.asp you've got a line that says

Dim strWhatever
strWhatever = "something else"

Comprende?
