The include is processed before ASP code is processed, and therefore does
not have access to any variables.

What you might want to do is something like:

<% select case request.querystring("page")
case "apples"%>
<!--#include file="menu_apples.html"-->
<% case "oranges"%>
<!--#include file="menu_oranges.html"-->
<% case else%>
<!--#include file="menu_default.html"-->
<% end select%>

The include file executes for the ASP processor. The only way I know to use
an include file dynamically is to use server.execute.

I have an example:

Run this alone and it will report it's virtual path:
http://kiddanger.com/lab/serverdotexec.asp

Run it with ?q=a, ?q=b or ?q=c and it will also include the appropriate
file.

Here's the code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True

dim q
q =
server.HTMLEncode(replace(replace(replace(Request. QueryString("q"),"'","''"),";",""),"--",""))

Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "<br />" & vbCrLf

if q <> "" Then
select case q
case "a"
server.execute "/lab/serverdotexeca.asp"
case "b"
server.execute "/lab/serverdotexecb.asp"
case "c"
server.execute "/lab/serverdotexecc.asp"
case else
Response.Write "Nice try!"
Response.End
end select
end if
%>

This is serverdotexeca.asp. b and c are similar.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Write "This is serverdotexeca.asp<br />" & vbCrLf
%>

HTH...
