If I'm understanding the question right, yes you can.
if($AlertUser2success != 0)
{
?>
<div class="pg_DIVmainText">
<img class="divBGgradient" style="" src="images/BehindBox01.png" alt="" />
<div>
<?php include(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
Regards,

Anyway, as I was working towards the last deadline with the PHP project I was working on, I uncovered several issues I did not know the answer to.. and I just hacked around them to avoid taking more time while I was under the clock/meter. Now on my own time, I want to ask, so I learn more deeply what was more ideal understanding/technique.

That system writes out the PHP code that I tell it to, in each page of the site. There was one place in my PHP code (marked with ***MT***, below) where I needed to include a chunk of data that would not be known (or written out) until the admin next published the page (i.e. I could not include the code inline). I needed to display it only in case of a PHP comparison evaluating to true. I was tempted to break out of PHP at that point, and then go back into PHP within that ***MT*** block itself, _only_ when/where in the few places that block needs PHP.. in order to reduce the head pressure (of the less-technical admin using the MT CMS) having to wade through so many PHP print/echo statements (I could not get heredoc to work right, but that is another topic/post ;-). But despite the temptation, I did not attempt that because I thought it might break the logic of the if { } . On the other hand, I vaguely remember reading something that made me think something like that is possible.. but I don't know where I saw it.

The reason I want that is so that I can just keep the HTML straight and simple in that MT block, instead of using PHP string-printing statements to spit out it's mostly-pure-HTML contents. The admin using the system is using a WYSIWYG HTML editable textarea interface, kind of like FCKEditor.
