After reading Beauregard's and BootNic's advices, I decided mine rather
suck... er, was inelegant. Ergo, I tried something better.
For example:
Your "menu" page to be included could look something like this:
<ul>
<li><? if ($exclude == 'page1') { ?><span
style="background:inherit;color:yellow;">Page 1</span><? } else { ?><a
href="page1.html">Page 1</a><? } ?>
<li><? if ($exclude == 'page2') { ?><span
style="background:inherit;color:yellow;">Page 2</span><? } else { ?><a
href="page2.html">Page 2</a><? } ?>
<li><? if ($exclude == 'page3') { ?><span
style="background:inherit;color:yellow;">Page 3</span><? } else { ?><a
href="page3.html">Page 3</a><? } ?>
<li><? if ($exclude == 'page4') { ?><span
style="background:inherit;color:yellow;">Page 4</span><? } else { ?><a
href="page4.html">Page 4</a><? } ?>
<li><? if ($exclude == 'page5') { ?><span
style="background:inherit;color:yellow;">Page 5</span><? } else { ?><a
href="page5.html">Page 5</a><? } ?>
</ul>
All pages to contain the include ("menu") have a very similar include
link. Here's the example for page 2:
<? include 'http://www.neredbojias.com/zyxix/menu_t5.php?exclude=page2';
?>
Notice the "?exclude=" variable contains the page identifier. Otherwise,
the includes are identical.
Here's a link to a live "page 2" example incorporating the above
techniques:

Two things I like about this are that the search/query string only has to
be on the include link, not the page link, and the styling change is
incorporated in the menu, not each page. The code could be changed a bit
if you're worried about global variables, etc.
