One of the most powerful features of ExpressionEngine is the ability to pass information into embeds. This is easy to achieve - in this example, we pass the word ‘ball’ into our embed:
{embed="includes/embed_file" word="ball"}
Then the embed template can access this information thusly:
I have received the word {embed:word}
You can pass all sorts of data into embeds, and used wisely you can massively cut down on code replication.
