you know instead of trying to "mimic" the current include pattern or
"stuffing" a class try something new and a bit more "microformaty"...

eg: we could use class "data" as a container for what we want to
include.

<span class="vcard">	
	<span class="data">
		<span class="fn">Foo</span>
	</span>
  	<a class="email" href="mailto:foo at bar.com">email foo at bar.com</a>
</span>

then use an empty span with the class "include data" anywhere you would
like the "data" to appear....

<span class="vcard">
	<span class="include data"></span>
  	<a class="email" href="mailto:foo at baz.com">email foo at baz.com</a>
</span>

the result could turn out much like this:

<span class="vcard">
	<span class="fn">Foo</span>
  	<a class="email" href="mailto:foo at baz.com">email foo at baz.com</a>
</span>

Pretty easy on the mind I would say.


Thanks
