But you can fudge it pretty easily: ez work $ cat include.rb require 'erb' def _include(template, bind=binding) erb = ERB.new(IO.read(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),template))) erb.result(bind) end ez work $ cat foo.rhtml <% require 'include' %> <% 10.times do %> <%= _include 'bar.rhtml' %> <% end %> ez socialpicks $ cat bar.rhtml <%= "hello world!" %> ez work $ erb foo.rhtml hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! hello world! You can't use 'include' because of Module#include so I used _include. Have fun!
