Unfortunately, in that regard, Koha is designed to have a real 
disconnection between OPAC and intranet
so having the same include would not be possible. (unless we decide to 
enable links in apache configuration, which is BAD).
+ it wouldnot be really efficient since OPAC's API is different from 
staff's :
cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl is cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl at staff.
We could write a translator from staff to OPAC display (there is 
something like that in ISBDdetail.pl if i don't mind.)
But then there would still be the problem of template separation.
This raises also the problem of features : for instance, basket is not 
provided at intranet, but is really useful also for staff members.

Should we change and unify Koha's scripts and naming ?

Should this be an RFC for 3.4 ?
for Koha 4.0  ?

Any other comment ?
