That's because you aren't using the FP features, and as you mentioned in the
previous post,

"Included pages will come across but will not be automatically updated."

If you were using FP to publish, it would be able to manage your site and
update included files without having to FTP all your files that contain
includes everytime they change.

For somebody experienced that knows what to use and what not to use, FTP is
fine, but for a new user that has no experience, I personally think they
should publish with FP. If they don't, you can bet we'll be seeing the "My
forms don't work" subject shortly.
