I have from time to time used a statement like:
#ifndef( some_var_name ) #declare some_var_name=1; #end
inside the included_file_name.inc file.

In the .pov file I then use:
#if(frame_number => some_value | frame_number <= some_other_value)
	#declare some_var_name=0;
#end
#include included_file_name.inc

This gives some_var_name a default value if not declared previouse to 
the file being included.

This might help in your situation.
