No, they shouldn't! PATH_INFO '... holds the additional path information
that remains after the URI has been translated into a file path.' [1]
So, if your URI is 'http://site/test2.html' 

1) URI to file translation:

    http://site/test2.html => {DOCUMENT ROOT}/test2.html

2) All of the URI is used for the file translation, no path information is
left.

Do you expect to be able to path a query string to an included document or why
do you add a query part to the 'virtual' attribute in your '#include'?
