---- cgi script embedded in html doesn't like arguments

No, you used to be right, and "include" used to be just to include the contents of a file. But "include virtual" is a newer (relatively -- only a few years old) thing that calls the included file through the web server (or calls it as though it were calling it through the web server). For CGI scripts, this has the effect of executing the script, but I think you can do it for html and other files as well.

Lots of places have taken to disabling all forms of "exec" in SSI and using "include virtual" instead, which may be why you were having the problem.
