The way I sometimes go about making a website is to fully code up the entire first page with a design I would like. Menus/headers/footers/layout and all. Then, when I'm happy with it, I cut it up into componant parts which I then include back in. This way there is no chance of having repeated tags, and everything is neatly organised. By the time you've cut it up, your index.php file will likely have nothing more than a bunch of includes and possibly the text specific to the index page. Don't think that each included file needs to work on its own. It doesn't matter if the included file doesn't open a tag if the page calling it has opened the tag already (such as <html>). I've had an include that formed part of a table, with the table created by a different included file, and closed by yet another.
