Too Many Include Files causing IIS 500 Error

I have a legacy ASP application running on IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003 Web
Edition) that is throwing an error when processesing a certain asp page that
has about 200 or so include directives.

We've checked the spelling, paths, include directives, and files
individually and all of them work.

We have also commented out random ones (4 or so at a time) and then the page
works. It doesn't matter which ones we comment out, just so long as we reduce
the number of pages by 3 or 4, sometimes 5.

The page worked just fine before one of our developers had to add a few new
include files. Now it seems we've reached some sort of ceiling on the number
of include files or the response / processing buffer that IIS will allow for
the asp page.

We've checked pretty much all of the IIS MetaBase property settings for
cache control and buffer limits and so forth but to no avail.

Is there some hidden or conveluded setting in IIS to allow more than a
certain number of include files or preprocessing directive that limits the
amount of memory a page may take up after combining all of its include files?
This is a very frustrating problem and I have not been able to find any
documentation on it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
