Cool. So the order of processing would be something like the following:

 Inside our Petal template:

  <span tal:replace="include: template_name">Some dynamically determined template</span>


 Inside the Petal engine:

  1st process -
      determine name of included file
      call the include: modifier

  Inside the include modifier - 
      modifier retrieves name of template file
      create new Petal object and processes the file
      return output to 1st process

  1st process -
      continue processing

Yeah, looking at it like this does make it appear that it wouldn't be
processed twice. Perhaps Josh can find the discussion where that issue
came up.
