global vars in included templates

Hi,

I know this is covered allready on the mailinglist, but I can't find any
solution to the problem.

The problem is that sometimes I would like to set variables in templates
that the parent template also is able to access.

The only time I've had this problem is if you only want to include a
template 1 time, but have multiple includes of it. So what I want is a kind
of require_once (of php). This is as far as I know not included in Smarty
and the another way of doing this would be to set a variable in a template
and check that variable everytime the template is included.

Is {assign var="name" value="Bob" global="1"} a good idea? Is {include
file="footer.tpl" once="1"} a good idea? Does anybody know of another way of
doing this?

Thanks...

Martin
