Yes. Sorry I'm not being very responsive at the moment. Paid work is
taking priority.

The iinclude plugin applies the "the_content" filter, but doesn't set
the global $post variable. I think that's probably a flaw in the
iinclude plugin - I can't see how EC can be wrong to look at $post.

Anyway, the simplest solution is to simply clear $post before you call
iinclude_page()...
  $post=false;
