You can't do that. "?" is for URLs, but you're specifying a filename. With the
"?", you're specifying a filename that doesn't exist.

If you want to pass variables into the include file, just set them before you
do the include, they'll be visible in the include file. (Or pass them as
parameters to whatever functions you define in the include file).
