[Zope] Variable File Include

[Jason Alexander]

Ah, sorry... I'm actually using zPoPy, and, yes, the userpluginposition is
actually in the database. I'm doing a dtml-let beforehand, assigning the
database result to the plugins var.

In terms of results, it simple prints out the name of the file name, rather
then including the file onto the page.
