I have a skin where I want to show some panes based on a site setting. Something like this: (It's just an example to illustrate the issue)

 <% If PortalController.GetPortalSetting(“ordered”, PortalController.PortalId, "normal") = "reversed" Then %>
    <div id=’Pane2’ runat='server'/><div id=’Pane1’ runat='server'/>
<% Else %>
    <div id=’Pane1’ runat='server'/><div id=’Pane2’ runat='server'/>
<% End If %>

Although the If and Else blocks exclude each other, I get this error
"The ID 'Pane2' is already used by another control"

What would be the solution to this problem?

You cannot have duplicate ids, not even conditional.
You could change the order using JS (write a variable to the page)?
