You then do <%=filen%> to go back into ASP to get the value of the variable into the HTML code that you wrote. ASP is not including the file, it is only supplying a file name for SSI includes whether apache SSI or IIS SSI. The server parsing the HTML recognizes the HTML comment is sentax for server side include and includes the suppplied file name.
