Exactly. They shouldn't care in which order they are run, that
should be up to the admin. You're saying the opposite, that
mod_cache should only be able to run after mod_include.

You're interested in having mod_cache only interested in content
going to the browser. There's a difference.

This has absolutely nothing to do with using mod_cache to cache the
page just before it is processed by mod_include, and processing the
page retrieved from the cache using mod_include.

Apparently you do.

Why should it be restricted like that? That makes it less useful.

So why are you saying it should be done that way? It should be able
to be placed at any point in the filter chain. Requiring it to come
after mod_<whatever> is tying its behavior to mod_<whatever>, saying
that mod_<whatever> must process the file before it is cached.
