from what i've seen, the [PREFIX-tags] are parsed before the other tags in
the loop are (presumably so that tags like [page [item-code]] will work).
At the time that the [item-code] tag would be parsed, the [include] hasn't
happened yet...so the contents of the included file wouldn't be checked for
an [item-code].

One workaround would be to set a scratch variable and use it instead, like
so...

[tmp item][item-code][/tmp]
[if cgi ostep eq "1"]
 [include pages/fp-step-1]
[elsif cgi ostep eq "2"]
 [include pages/fp-step-2]
[/elsif]
[/if]
(the include tag interpolates by default; interpolate=1 probably isn't
needed.)

the two included pages could then use [scratch item] instead of [item-code].
