Quite clear, can you please make an example ?

Suppose I have some pages I need to execute and show : page1.php, page2.php, page3.php
I should create some templates : template1, template2, template3
Then insert the variables : $show1 (containing the html execution of page1.php) into template1, $show2 (containing the html execution of page2.php) into template2 and so on.

But how can I generate/fill (for example) the variables and insert them into the template when I link the user to mysite.com/forums/page2.php ?

Found, may be, I should add a plugin :

ob_start();
  include('./page2.php');
  $show2 = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

Is it ?
