  AFAIK there's no way to specify an include file from the command line,
but you can achieve similar results this way:

  In your pov file (let's suppose that it's named "demo.pov"), add the
following line at the beginning:

#include "name.inc"

  Now, suppose you want a file named "demo.inc" to be included in the place
of the above line. From UNIX command prompt you can type these commands:

echo '#include "demo.inc"' > name.inc
povray +Idemo.pov

  That's it. Now "demo.pov" will include the file "name.inc" which contains
only one line: #include "demo.inc"
  The result: "demo.inc" gets included.

  Note that some shells require you to remove the file "name.inc" before
you can redirect anything to it (ie. with the > operator).
