PHP include based on body class??

[FlavaFlav]

Hi,

I have a site i am building in Wordpress, and want to include a featured news section (featured.php) on just the home/index page, now i can drop the PHP include into the index page, but the way Wordpress works is that index.php controls the display of all the pages, as such the include would appear on each and every page!!

I have given my home page a class of 'home',

I was just wondering what the code would be to just include this file on the homepage.....

Im guessing its along the lines of - if body class=home then include featured.php

But I do not know how to code this correctly (as you may have guessed!!)

Thanks for your time.
