Daniel, You're right, the template is acting as the controller for the html format so there's no need to put the include/exclude items on top of it. I was just trying to found out the safest (and the easiest) way to control my data before exposing it.
In a real case scenario, if a table structure beyond a layer change, I will have to modify the html template but also all the wms|ows|gml include items. It's not such a big deal but since we have around 300 layer to maintain, It would been convenient to have a unique list of field to updated. It would also reduce the risk of error (ex: allowing one field in the gml mode but not in the html mode) thanks again Daniel for your comments.
