I would suggest looking into doing this same thing with the include command and heredoc syntax.
Example
/*include.php*/
<?
$top = <<<END
anything you have in head.inc
END;
$topnav = <<<END
anything you have in topnav.inc
END;
etc..
?>
then on your page all you do is this:
<?
include("include.php");
echo $top;
echo $topnav;
etc..
?>
Content stuff here
<?
echo footer
?>
Much easier in my opinion.

<?php
/*this does not work
$head = <<<END aainc-head.inc END;
?>
<?php
/*this does not work
$head = <<<END
aainc-head.inc
END;
?>
<?php
include("include.php");
echo $head;
echo $logo;
echo $topnav;
echo $leftnav;
echo $right;
?>
If aainc-head.inc contains this:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
etc..
</head>
Then you would put this in include.php:
$head = <<<END
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
etc..
</head>
END;
Still working on syntax.
I have checked php_net.
Searching for 'heredoc syntax'...
Nothing specific found ...except whitespace warning and
end of line info...that probably does not apply.
