 I think the include is indeed expanded out unconditionally but when the
 Python logic runs the response.write is not executed for that portion of the
 code if condition is False.

 Replace someData in your example with True and then with False and refresh
 the page to see what you get in each case. The truthness or falseness of a
 variable can be deceiving. Also the include file name should be the path
 portion past views.

Include is executed whether or not the condition is true. It is not
python code therefore it is executed before the python code is
executed.
It is not a good idea to put the include in a condition.

 Hi,

 I have such code:
 {{if someData:}}
      {{include 'additional.html'}}
 {{pass}}

 problem is that even when 'someData' is NOT true - file
 'additional.html' is included.

 Is there some trick to select on view level which includes shall be
 loaded?
