Description

INCLUDE directive in mapfiles seems not to work with variable substitution.

ex. INCLUDE "%mapfiles_path%/layer_regions.map"

return the following error: msLoadMap(): Premature End-of-File. msyylex(): Unable to access file. Error opening included file "%mapfiles_path%/layer_regions.map".

It's not documented to work and really can't work. The reason being that substitution is done post-include parsing. The runtime substitution is done on a mapObj not a map file. Substitution within an include file is supported.

Wish I had better news but I don't, sorry. Marking as won't fix...
