trying to get dynamic menu to appear in other ares of a site

[scotch33]

Hi,

I am trying to get the main site menu to appear in some pages that are not part of the CMSMS system.

I have created a page in the system that contains just the menu, and in a template where there is literally just a surrounding div.

I have called it using an include from elsewhere. 

This works fine 70% of the time, but on occasion I am getting the following error.  Is there a better way to do this or perhaps a way of checking for its availablilty before calling it and if its not playing, replacing it with something else.

I am aware that this is partly a PHP question, but thought as it may be something others would occasionally need to do, it was worth asking about in the forum.

The error is ...
