Includes

[EvilAsh]

I have recently been building some large sites and have been adding repetive elements (menus, headers, footers) as include files.

This might be a silly question but will a search engine read the page as rendered html?

Hi

Try it : create a small page with some included elements, request it in a browser then analyze the source. That will be HTML, regardless what was the pieces originally.

Or look at my site and try to guess from the page sources which pieces was included from separate files.

If you have no time to go into the proposed exercise, I tell you there is no difference neither for humans or search engines.

Yep


do a view source on a page. That is what a search engine sees.
