1) Good search engines *cough*Google*cough* will take the querystring in=
to =
consideration while indexing.
2) For sake of ease, scalability, and security you may want to build a =
querystring like ?id=3D1, instead of ?page1. Then you can read the page =
id =
with $_GET['id'].
3) Using this method of including, you should perform a check on file =
existence.
