How to specify model to a ngInclude directive in AngularJS?

Question

I would like to use the same HTML template in 3 places, just each time with a different model. I know I can access the variables from the template, but there names will be different.

Is there a way to pass a model to the ngInclude?

This is what I would like to achieve, of course the attribute add-variable does not work now. Then in my included template, I would acces the detailsObject and its properties.

<pane title="{{projectSummary.ProjectResults.DisplayName}}">     <h2>{{projectSummary.ProjectResults.DisplayName}}</h2>     <ng-include src="'Partials/SummaryDetails.html'" init-variable="{'detailsObject': projectSummary.ProjectResults}"></ng-include> </pane>  <pane  title="Documents" header="true"></pane>  <pane ng-repeat="document in projectSummary.DocumentResults" title="{{document.DisplayName}}">     <h2>{{document.DisplayName}}</h2>     <ng-include src="'Partials/SummaryDetails.html'" add-variable="{'detailsObject': document}"></ng-include> </pane>  <pane ng-repeat="header in [1]" title="Languages" header="true"></pane>  <pane ng-repeat="language in projectSummary.ResultsByLanguagePairs" title="{{language.DisplayName}}">     <h2>{{document.DisplayName}}</h2>     <ng-include src="'Partials/SummaryDetails.html'" add-variable="{'detailsObject': language}"></ng-include> </pane> 

If I took a bad approach with using ng-include, is there something else I should try?

There is a rather simple solution, although I must admit, it's not what Misko would recommend. But if creating a directive is an overkill for you and getting Brice's patch is not feasible then the following will help you.

<div ng-repeat="name in ['A']" ng-include="'partial.html'"></div> <div ng-repeat="name in ['B']" ng-include="'partial.html'"></div>  <script type="text/ng-template" id="partial.html">    <div>{{ name }}</div> </script> 

It's quite evident why it works. See an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/Cndc6/4/
