I've searched through the preferences to no avail... whenever I open a php
file, dreamweaver mx automatically processes any php  includes in that file 
to
their html. This becomes a permanent change and the file no longer has the
include tag but rather all the html from the include file!

Any way to turn this off??

In Preferences> Invisible Elements there is a check box for "show contents o
f
included files"... I unchecked this, but it did not solve the issue.

any help please, thanks in advance.

edit > preferences > Code rewriting > be sure never rewrite code: is
checked, and php, php3 are in the list
