Yes.
Plain old inclusion (like #include in C) would work faster
because it doesn't go back to the client in the same sense
as HTTP redirection.

There is some way of doing this in dtml, I know because
I had something working at one point but I can't remember
what it is.  I do remember it only worked if the objects
that were redirected to (equivalent of included) were methods
not documents.


<dtml-var "whatever.whateverelse.object> gets the right object
but it doesn't get rendered.
