What is difference between the apex:include and Salesforce visualforce component ?

Hi Mohit,

• <apex:include> is used when you want to insert that page as it is in your current page. The entire contents of that page is copied in your current page.
• <apex:component> is defining a component before using it. In simple words, lets  say you define that 'myValue' component is a string type but the value to that string will be assigned in the destination page.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
