 * Sorry to repeat, but got no answer and am extremely interested in this for a 
   lot of different projects.
    The post is a php file, right? So isn’t there a way
   to include an htm or php file in it? Thanks

 * No. It’s an HTML page that is generated from a .php template file, possibly a
   number of plugins and the content of a database query. Youi cannot include a .
   php file in a post – only in its template file.
