This is the part in includes/page_header.php where the header and footer is parsed.
//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Parse Header & Footer ---------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
if (isset($main_template) && $main_template) {
$header = $site_template->parse_template("header");
$footer = $site_template->parse_template("footer");
$site_template->register_vars(array(
"header" => $header,
"footer" => $footer
));
unset($header);
unset($footer);
}
You can try to move this part to includes/page_footer.php
