This is funny...
I was interested in your situation, mostly because I never used the
external
directives, so I was trying to get some time to test it. But today, I got
a
situation where they may be useful, and I tried them... Without success...
So,
I thought you were right... But then, I come here for the usual daily
check and
I see that it works, and after checking the PMR, I confirmed that I tried
a
similar situation... Now, since it does work, but it didn't work for me,
I'll
have to re-check my tests :)
Anyway, thanks for posting!
Regards,
