I personally have a custom header function that I use for the tops of my pages. In it I open the page and have all my basic stuff (html,head, title is passed in, CSS and navigation (minus the current page with a little logic) ) all echoed out to the main page. You may be able to do the same thing as an include.

I also have a custom footer function to close the page (bottom links, close body, close html, and what ever else I need for those pages.).
