Which I already told you (more or less) in my first reply. ;-)

Solved problem.

($query_limit_quotes, $db) should have been:
($query_quotes, $db)

I'm still getting Query was empty :'(

The file is included by the server before any of the code is executed.
There is no 'passing variables to include file' necessary since the code
from that include is already in the page at the time of execution.

I suspect that there is some other problem which you can troubleshoot by
selectively inserting echo statements at logical points in your code to
visualize how the data is being used.

Session variables would work as well - did you initialize the session before
using them?

<?php if(!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } ?>

Check your error reporting, you should have received an E_NOTICE error,
telling you that $query_limit_quotes is undefined. Additionally the
script is vulnerable to SQL injection through the cust_name parameter.
