...is PHP, so why not use it?

function include_view($view, $vars=NULL) {
    # Start buffering the generated text.
    ob_start();

    if (!is_null($vars)) {
        extract($vars, EXTR_OVERWRITE | EXTR_REFS);
    }
    include("views/$view.php");

    # Grab the generated content and clean up.
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    return $content;
}

All form information is optional, but it’s a good idea to fill in your name and email address if you want me to take your comment seriously.

Spammers, don’t bother posting crap down here. The site is set up so that legitimate search engines (Google, for instance) won’t index pages with comments on them. Posting crud here only means you’re wasting my time and patience. Shoo!
