Well, include() will parse the file--maybe you're just doing it the wrong way... ;)
I'm not sure how your customer_email.php looks like but consider this:
<?php
$name = "General PHP";
include "inc.php";
echo $message;
?>
Then in inc.php you have:
<?php
$message = "$name, how are you doing?";
?>
Running the first script should echo:
General PHP, how are you doing?
So, as you can see the $name was replaced.
Just a simple example...
