I already did a search and all I've found is that server.execute can be dynamic. Is there anything else?

using includes, the ASP treats ALL the code from all the included pages like it was one big asp page... as a result, all script in any of the includes have access to variables and functions in the page calling them, as well as the query string and post form fields

using execute, it's just run on its own off to the side, does not have access to variables and functions from the page calling it, but does still have access to query string and post fields
