<?php
$template = "headlines";
include './news/index.php';
?>


The above code has been implemented and the template "headline" has been created to be simply for {title} surrounded by [comments] [/comments]
The resulting display is correctly for hyperlink titles.

On clicking hyperlinks leads to news page.
HOWEVER, even though "3.2 Ajax comments style" is set as default the resulting landing page is for "headlines" template. (The default is not being read).


Variations have been extensively tried. Pls advise user misunderstaning of implementation procedure.
