SID-01053: Creating a template with included text from other topics.

Is it possible to use the %TMPL:INCLUDE{"name"}% variables in a template topic?

I would like to create an EmployeeTemplate that is a profile of an individual. In a separate topic named QuestionTemplate I have a table with questions and %CLI% items. I would like to insert the raw text into the EmployeeTemplate before variable expansion. I tried %INCLUDE{}% . But to get that to work, you have to surround it with %STARTSECTION{type="expandvariables"}% . This then expands the %CLI% and %EDITTABLE%_vars and creates an _HTML mess.

So I though that I could use the TMPL vars to include the text, which is what they are used for in the tmpl files. I tried to put it in the raw text, but %TMPL:INCLUDE{"Question"}% does not expand and is displayed as text.

Is what I am trying to do possible? How do I prevent the expansion of the variables with out disabling them?

Thanks
