the problem is:

I would like to use wraplist and fixedlist in the tv shows on different conditions.
That it would be good if <constant> not only numerical values would support.

example:

Code:
<include name="MultiplexFixedList">

   <constant name="MultiplexListType">fixedlist</constant>

</include>

<include name="MultiplexWrapList">

   <constant name="MultiplexListType">wraplist</constant>

</include>

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(SeasonsFixedList)">MultiplexFixedList</include>

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(!SeasonsFixedList)">MultiplexWrapList</include>

<control type="MultiplexListType" id="52">

   ...

</control>

or better with conditional function in <constant> tag:
example:

Code:
<constant name="MultiplexListType" condition="Skin.HasSetting(SeasonsFixedList)">fixedlist</constant>

<constant name="MultiplexListType" condition="Skin.HasSetting(!SeasonsFixedList)">wraplist</constant>

<control type="MultiplexListType" id="52">

   ...

</control>

so you do not have to write multiple lists with the same id

If it is conditional it isn't a constant.

There's a ticket on trac for skin variables. This is the exact same idea.

It's awaiting someone to provide a patch.

Cheers,
