Include subsections depending on variables/ifthen

I am making a template for several books. I have a mainfile which includes the .tex files for my chapters. For each book, some chapters are always almost the same except for a few subsections.

How can I define a macro or something to only include this subsection under a specific condition?

It should be like this pseudo code:

  type=(A,C) <-- defined at the beginning of each book

  \chapter{blabla}

  if type=B, include: \section{first} 
  \section{second} <-- this is included always
  if type=B,C, include: \section{third}
  if type=A, include: \section{fourth}

so only sections second, third and fourth would appear in this particular case. Any idea how to realize that?

Does the linked question help? – Marco Daniel Jul 04 '13 at 17:11
Why not simply a \includeonly{filename1,filename2,...} in the preamble? – Fran Jul 07 '13 at 02:03
