Ok I was tring to include a file and tring to pass a var, tried many ways.. needless to say I couldnt get it to work.
<?php inlcude("links.php?show=true"); ?> -- no good
<?php include("http://www.amazed.to/links.php?show=true"); ?> -- no good
So I get on IRC, no on really had a answer for my question 'Why cannt I include, and pass varibles on a windows server?'
bug list: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-php3.php?id=514 says you cannt include("http://server/file.php") if you cannt include a server, how can you pass a var through include? I am not sure if you consider this a 'bug' but, it would be nice to include & passing vars ;\

This makes no sense.  Included files share the same scope as the script that is doing the including.  So:

$a = 1;
include 'somefile.php';

If in somefile.php you do: echo $a
you will see it prints 1.  So passing variables to an included file is an inherent characteristic of PHP.
