I have ran into this when doing ajax forms where I include multiple field sets. Taking for example an employment application. I start out with one professional reference set and I have a button that says "Add More". This does an ajax call with a $count parameter to include the input set again (name, contact, phone.. etc) This works fine on first page call as I do something like:

User presses a button that makes an ajax call ajax('references.php?count=1'); Then inside the references.php file I have something like:

I also have other dynamic includes like this throughout the site that pass parameters. The problem happens when the user presses submit and there is a form error. So now to not duplicate code to include those extra field sets that where dynamically included, i created a function that will setup the include with the appropriate GET params.

 $value) {
      $_GET[$key] = $value;
    }
  }
  include($parts[0]);
}
?>

The function checks for query params, and automatically adds them to the $_GET variable. This has worked pretty good for my use cases.

Here is an example on the form page when called:

Just another example of including GET params dynamically to accommodate certain use cases. Hope this helps. Please note this code isn't in its complete state but this should be enough to get anyone started pretty good for their use case.
