Offcourse, you could include by HTTP instead of the FILE system, and giv=
e =

GET variables. This has all sorts of drawbacks, and I wouldn't recommend=
=

it.

Is there any reason that this:
<?php
include('http://www.example.com/foo.php?id=3D1');
?>
.... is easier for you then:
<?php
$id=3D1;
include('foo.php');
?>

I'd opt for the second option every time.
If you're worried about variables in global scope:
first.php
<?php
function second_include($args){
extract($args);
include('second.php');
}
second_include(array('foo' =3D> 'bar'));
?>
second.php
<?php echo $foo; ?>
