It should work as is without the interpolate. But it is unwise in several
respects. First of all, it is a major security breach to [include]
stuff from htdocs.

Second, it reads the file for every item; and why would you have ITL tags
in an htdocs file? If you are just going to blat the file out, use [file ...]
and not [include].

Basically, without knowing the contents of your [include ...] file no one
can help. If there are no ITL tags in it, you want to use [file ...]. If there
are ITL tags in it, *not including [sql-*] tags*, it should work, but
you should move it out of htdocs.

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
