 * i am working on a theme, where the theme loads front-page.php ( contains featured
   content and custom widgets). I added this code to front-page.php
 *     ```
       if ( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {
           include( get_home_template() );
       } else {
           include( get_page_template() );
       }
       ```
   
 * After adding this code, when user selects in reading settings
 * latest posts => shows blog posts
    static page => shows static page
 * But here is my question? How to fallback on front-page.php?? User cannot select
   to show front-page.php??
