When using includes you should use them for the overall outlook of the page. Don't put any content in the includes. That way you can allow each page to have different content while keeping the same design. If you will have the same sidebar for each one , then go ahead and add the sidebar to the template.

I think this tutorial explains PHP includes pretty well, so you should read it.

If you do it in that format, your content won't be the same. Either way though don't add content that way. I'd just add the basic coding in the include, then on each page put the DIV manually along with the content.

If that makes since.
