I think this is only broken under JSDK 2.0.  The problem is that
getResourceImpl(path, request) seems to be returning the resource for the
request rather than the resource for the path based on information in the
request.  I think Carsten redefined the semantics when he was working on
the doForward()/doInclude() stuff.   I'll take a look at fixing that.

You'll note in the JServ log that instead of checking timestamps for the
the file and its dependent, it's checking the timestamps for the file
twice.

<jsp:include> is done at request time, so the page doing the including
will not get recompiled.  However the dependents should be recompiled
when they change.  I've verified that this is happening correctly.
