jsp:include problem

[Gl...@flagstar.com]

We seem to be having 2 problems with using the <jsp:include> tag under
Tomcat 3.1.
1.  When attempting to include the same file multiple times in the same
JSP, we get the following compilation error:

org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: Seen file
/includes/list_bad_errors.jsp already, maybe this is a recursive include?!

2.  The JSP engine does not always recompile the included file after it has
 been updated.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing these problems and if so,
how they were able to resolve or work around them.

Yes, I've seen that.  In my case what happend was that within file A, I
included file B, and then I included file C into file A, but file C also
had an include for file B.  I only wanted to include B once, so I adjusted
my code to fit.  So in my case it was a feature not a bug :)
