Kathryn, there is a way to do this:
If your Page Include component’s Unique Id is “MyPageInclude”, you can use the Component instance method “load” to cause the Page Include to load:
skuid.$C(“MyPageInclude”).load();
You can pass in a callback function that will tell you once the Page Include is loaded:
skuid.$C(“MyPageInclude”).load(function(){ console.log(“My Page Include just got loaded!”); });
