Ah right, you can't have includes inside of blocks ! This is not a bug, just
a side-effect of how includes are implemented vs blocks.
I know understand the reasoning behind the str(t.content) patch, which was a
workaround to getting includes to work inside of blocks, but not the proper
solution.
It only worked because of the str(t.content) workaround, otherwise you were
not able to have includes inside blocks from the beginning.
