The .inc files are PARTIAL JSP files, not complete JSP files. Another 
existing convention calls these files .jspf (f for fragment). The 
different extension is so that when using tools such as JSP 
precompilation, these are picked up as complete JSP files because this 
would generate errors.

The JSP that the Jahia servlet calls is resolved based on the PAGE 
DEFINITION used. When you create a page, you select a page template 
(also called a PAGE DEFINITION). When you call up the page, Jahia 
remembers which template you have associated with and dispatches to the 
corresponding template. The page definition table in the database is 
called jahia_pages_def.
