No problem, it can be made to work in conditionals
(it's actually harder to make it not work in conditionals).

And (:redirect:) will be smart enough not to redirect to
itself.  So, in your example above, if the included raw data
page redirects to the pretty page, then the redirect in
the pretty page would have no effect.  (This doesn't solve
the problem of a raw data page being included in multiple
pretty pages, but for that situation a conditional would work.)
