I'm not sure I understand the question correctly... if you want
the content to change based on the name of the including page
(as opposed to the included page), then it's just:

    (:if name *summary:)
    display this: "blah blah blah"
    (:if !name *summary:)
    display this chunk of content.

If you want the including page to select the summary or content,
use anchors:

  IncludedPage:

    [[#summary]]
    display this: "blah blah blah"
    [[#body]]
    display this chunk of content.

  OuterPage:

    (:include IncludedPage#summary:)  -- display summary
    (:include IncludedPage#body:)     -- display body
