>i already use an include but have 4 different ones depending on the user that has logged on.

Great that you got this working. However, I would recommend that the logic about which include to call was moved into a separate file (if you were starting over) as any changes to that logic have to be replicated 80 times - rather than once.

On my main site I have a standard header and a standard footer that get called. The header controls the css which is used, the logos (which do change), hit logging etc. They even control whether or not the bots get INDEX,FOLLOW or NOINDEX,FOLLOW commands. Having it centralised/modularised gives me alot of control.
