Help me out with something. Let’s say a hypothetical web site uses a series of static, server-side include files to define portions of a hypothetical user interface. The elements that are created using the hypothetical include files are common across both dynamically-generated pages and hand-coded pages. These include files can be modified independently of any database-accessing code, compiled scripts, jsp servlets, or other hypothetical equivalent. The include files do not require any direct database hooks in order to provide functionality, but can contain urls that trigger predetermined direct-actions that generate hypothetical dynamic pages. If hypothetically modifying these include files will do absolutely nothing to affect the functionality, performance, or stability of the dynamically generated components of the hypothetical web site, do the developers of the database-accessing code, compiled scripts, jsp servlets, and other hypothetical equivalents need to know when the includes are changed? In my mind, no.
I’m just thinking out loud here… hypothetically of course.
