Bob, as far as header, try to do the header logic at the very top of
the code before anything else is sent. Also do try the buffering with
ob_start, if nothing else works.
PHP has a nice "include" so you can keep the logic in one place.
That is not a problem. Just be cautious of the ways paths in include
work. A bit counter-intuitive, but you should be ok.
