Serious issue with a slider…

If you are not busy, is there any chance I could get some advice? I am trying to create a static page on my site (highrankingseo.net) and still have the image slider on the top. The only way the image slider will stay there is if I make the homepage ”latest posts”….any tips on how to get this fixed?…I set it up so if you look at the site, you will know what I am saying….
When I switch it from the way it looks now, so that the homepage is static, I loose the image slider….I tried this so far:

Added this to the HTML in the static page:
-php include featured-slider.php- (obviously with proper tags)

No luck….

I tried to insert the code in the header and it didnt work..…the index already has it and it is supposed to be there…but for some reason it just doesn’t do what I want it to do when I set the home page to static….ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated…
