I think thats near to impossible. What if I do something like
$number_of_classes = inline_template(<%= classes.size)
if ($number_of_classes > 10) {
include class_not_previously_included
}
what should the value of $number_of_classes be. Should it take
class_not_previously_included into account? And what if the number of
included classes without class_not_previously_included is exactly 10.
Then not including whould be right (because we than have 10 classes
included so we dont need the extra one) and including whould be right at
the same time (because whould then have 11 classes included). And now
image I would say
if ($number_of_classes < 10) { include foobar } and with foobar included
it whould be exactly 10.
