Description

I have Smarty cache globally disabled, cache_lifetime set to 0, but include with any cache_id still creates cache files.

{include file='example.tpl' cache_id=NULL}

Any way to disable this behavior?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the {include file='example.tpl' cache_id=NULL} case with global caching disabled and cache_lifetime set to 0. Trace Smarty's include and cache handling, then verify that the include no longer creates cache files when caching is disabled.
