Yes, that's correct.  Directives such as (:include:), (:if:), etc.
only have an effect when the page is actually displayed.  If the
page is being used as the source for another operation -- such as
in Site.PageListTemplates, Site.AuthUser, Site.NotifyList, or trails,
then the directives don't have any impact (because the page isn't
being displayed, just used as a data source).
