It looked to me like he understood before. If your example is the only way to include files, it demonstrates that ASP cannot do it (ASP stuff happens between <% and %>), but that this limitation doesn't prevent an ASP developer from modularizing code when there is support for SSI. The point is that you're relying on a mechanism in the server (e.g., Apache or IIS) and not in the language. The include and require language constructs in PHP can be used independently of support for SSI. Hope that helps.
