When I viewed your test site and downloaded the source, there are invisible characters inserted after the <td> and before the contents of your included file. I copied into Notepad++ and had to change to ANSI encoding to even see it. I would turn on view all characters in whatever editor you are using and see if you can find the visible characters to remove.

Update:

Using a hex editor I've found that your files are encoded with UTF-8 with BOM. This Byte order mark character is causing the display issue. Googling found that W3C has an article covering this and how to remove the BOM character from your files.

Additional Info:
