Splitting lovelace with !includes strange issue

Hello, i have been splitting my lovelace file using !includes, which has been working well, i have 8 tabs working well, i’ve just tried to add a new tab which is similar to an existing tab/file and after getting more than a few lines in, it just starts displaying the contents of the other tab and i can’t figure out why…

This is the tab that is working, but gets duplicated later when i add the new tab

and then when i add a second tab it will be fine like this…

title: loopyloop
icon: mdi:record-player
path: home
cards:
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards: 

And then i try to add a similar code block for example a button from the first tab, and it just copies the first tab completely when viewing it in any device, (web, android etc)

Any idea’s

I think i found a solution, i think it’s because i am incorrectly using the path: entry

I copied this code from another topic, and so when i tried to duplicate, they were both using

path: home

and so it started sharing the same code in both tabs.

I really don’t understand the correct usage of this “path:” feature, if someone could explain with examples, i’m just not understanding the explanation in the doc’s site.

either way, problem resolved.

Path would be for http://yourhomeassistanturl/lovelace/path
So you could do something like …lovelace/living_room or …lovelace/bedroom to take you directly to that view from a link

Here is a little more info on here:
