Few things I found by accident while programming in asp.

The include directive is not part of the asp code or, in other words, the directive doesn't go between the <% %> script delimiters.

Depending on your editor,  the included file will not properly show the coding logic if the file extension is not .asp.  I had an if then elseif end if structure and the elseif didn't show correctly.  That's an editor issue.  the include file doesn't have to end in .asp.  

The script in the include file must also have the <% %> delimiters.  This is a no brainer if you also have html in the file, but if the entire file is an asp script, those delimiters must also be present.
