Problem

You want to INCLUDE a specified section of another topic, rather than the entire topic.

Context

Another topic has one or more sections which are useful to other topices. This may be a valid topic on its own or simply a repository for useful snippets.

Solution

Use STARTSECTION and ENDSECTION to delimit the sections: 

%STARTSECTION{"Section 1"}%
This is Section 1...
%ENDSECTION{"Section 1"}%

Then request them by name: 

%INCLUDE{"FooTopic"  section="Section 1"}%
