First, I'll assume that the "data session arg" was a typo and
you know about the missing "[" and "]". :-)

To answer your question, the [item-*] tags are "subtags" of the
[fly-list] tag.  Once you get into your [include], you are
inside a completely new tag and out of the reach of the subtag
parser.

You could do one of two things:

    1) Move the [fly-list] tag into the included file.

    2) Don't use [include].  Read the file into a variable in
       catalog.cfg and use __MYTEMPLATE__ on the page instead.
       (I think that'll work).  In catalog.cfg:

           Variable MYTEMPLATE <templates/mytemplate
