Interesting solution, but does not work!

Here is what I did:

I have a page called MyPage which is not writeable. Under MyPage, I 
have a page called CommentsPage, which has read/write access to all.

In MyPage, here is what the original raw text looks like for the 
two-step process:

----
Click on the /CommentsPage to comment on this page
[[Include(/CommentsPage)]]
Click on the /CommentsPage to comment on this page
----


Based on your suggestion, I changed MyPage to this:
----
Click on the [[Action(edit,/CommentsPage)]] to comment on this page
[[Include(/CommentsPage)]]
Click on the [[Action(edit,MyPage/CommentsPage)]] to comment on this 
page
----

Both the cases as shown above takes me to edit "MyPage" instead of 
"CommentsPage".

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks.
