Total regard (5)

I believe the answer is:

count

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'total' is the first definition.
(I know that total can be written as count)

'regard' is the second definition.
(I know that count is a type of include)

(Other definitions for count that I've seen before include "Titled man" , "European title" , "Matter to consider" , "earl abroad" , "consideration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
