You have already asked this, and had a reply. Asking the same question again
when you didn't get the right answer last time will not really help.

I think you need to better explain what you need to interpolate. Is it the
contents of the included file, or the named parameter passed to the
[include] or [file] tag.

As you will see from the docs, [include] interpolates the file contents,
whereas [file] does not. There are some things which will not work in an
[include]d file though.

So, my answer is: Use [include].

Did I answer the right question?
