Processing variables in an included page

I'm setting up a template based CMS where the template script looks a little like this:

<body>

<?php
// inserts the content into the template
$page = $_GET['page'];
include("$page.php");
?>

</body>

</html>

$title is defined in the page to be included, but it's not being echoed - is there a way to ensure that variables in the included page are processed by the template script?

You are asking for it before it exists.

Ah I see, so the "echo $title" would have to come after the "include $page.php". Thanks!

this is $page.php

<?php
$title = 'something';
$html = <<<EOT
all page html goes here
EOT;
?>

and this is the template:

<?php
$page = $_get['page'];
include("$page.php");
?>
<html>
<head><?php echo $title;?></head>
<body>
<?php $echo "$html\n";?>
</body>
</html>
