Sorry, the shortcut part was me thinking that I could append a
querystring to a script name being included from the local filesystem.
That obviously doesn't work unless you're doing a HTTP request, and by
the good advice I've been given, that sounds like something I want to
avoid (and my server won't let me do anyway).

Oops, I checked the register_globals setting on my rented shared
server, and it is turned off. I misunderstood it's purpose, but think
it's to do with stuff that would ordinarily be found in super-globals,
being accessible as ordinary local variables. If I understand
correctly, It's setting doesn't affect visibility of variables in an
included script, that were in scope at the point in the parent where
the child was included.
