I have a fairly complex theme set up and for the most part I can use include files to add in the code for that part of the template. For example I have:

<% if ContentPanels %> 
    <% loop ContentPanels %>

    
      <% if PanelLayout = Text Block %>
        
        <% include TextBlocks %>       
      
      <% else_if PanelLayout = Image and Text %> 
        
        <% include ImageGrid %>     
etc...

However one of these layouts needs to access the $Top which does not work in an include file. Does anyone know of a work around for this, so that I am not repeating the same chunk of code on different page templates?

Hi @Vix,

You can add arguments into a include

<% loop ContentPanels %>

        <% if PanelLayout = Text Block %>

              <% include TextBlocks Top=$Top %>       

        <% else_if PanelLayout = Image and Text %> 

              <% include ImageGrid Top=$Top %>  

        <% end_if %>

<% end_loop %>
