 * Is this possible?:
    <?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,’ – Day <?php days_since(09,28,2004);?
   > of 25</h2>’); ?> (Using: [http://wiki.wordpress.org/Day](http://wiki.wordpress.org/Day)

 * This is going to sound worse than I mean it, but: how does that help? I’m asking
   if there’s a way to nest includes, using the Day Counter plugin.

 * unless you’re using an if, if/else, or if/elseif sequence, what’s the point of
   nesting includes? Why not just keep them separate php calls?

 * One way you could _possibly_ do this would be to set an arbitrary variable to
   be equal to `days_since(09,28,2004);` or whatever function you want, and then
   pass that variable as the string for the corresponding argument in the `php the_date()`
   function. So that would give you something like:
    `<?php $since = " - Day " .
   days_since(09,28,2004) . " of 25</h2>"; the_date('','<h2>', $since); ?> Although,
   to be honest, I’m not sure if the_date function will work with a variable as 
   an argument. Plus, you might have to configure days_since to return a value, 
   rather than echo it. Give it a shot!
