Template wrapping and implodes

Im not to sure how this works, i been seeings pieces of code on this and im still at a loss why this is used instead of includes. This is the type of pieces of codes i been looking at

$page1 = implode("", file("../templ/members/header.htt"));
$page2 = implode("", file("../templ/footer.htt"));
$pagads = implode("", file("../templ/ads.htt"));

Is it used like this? theres a template file, that file is put onto a page then you call these 3 files which already have the postioning in a differnt file. Is it somthing like this?

>>$page1 = implode("", file("../templ/members/header.htt"));
that is just putting the contents of header.htt into the variable $page1. It does NOT automatically send the content to the browser. So, somewhere down the line it must explicitly be doing:
echo $page;

or perhaps is extracting some portion of the page only and echoing only the desired portion. The same applies to $page2 and $pageads
