Actually my previous solution broke when using non custom page templates. Below is a better solution I came up with. I basically just set a boolean called $continue to true, add it as a condition for the while loop and then set it to false when using custom page templates. Thus ending the loop. Not sure how this solution will affect custom posts though.

$continue = true;
// Start our new Loop
while (have_posts() && $continue) {

	ob_start(); // Start output buffering so we can save the output to string

	// Show either the title, link, content, everything, or everything via a custom template
	switch ($display) {
		case "title":
			the_post();
			echo "<h1>"; the_title(); echo "</h1>";
			break;
		case "link":
			the_post();
			echo "<a href='"; the_permalink(); echo "'>"; echo the_title(); echo "</a>";
			break;
		case "content":
			the_post();
			echo the_content();
			break;
		case "all":
			the_post();
			echo "<h1>"; the_title(); echo "</h1>";
			echo the_content();
			echo the_meta();
			break;
		default: // display is either invalid, or contains a template file to use
			$template = locate_template($display);
			if (strlen($template) > 0) {
				include($template); // execute the template code
			}
			$continue = false; // Stop the loop
			break;
	}

	$content = ob_get_contents(); // Save off output buffer
	ob_end_clean(); // End output buffering
}

I was able to fix the problem by adding “the_post()” method within the main loop in the inserPages_handleShortcode_insert” method after while(have_posts()). The loop was not iterating thus causing it to be an infinite loop.
