  What does the include file contain, specifically? If it contains a "raw"
object, you could also do this:

#local Obj = object { #include "include_file" };

  Works only if the include file can be inserted there and the result is valid
SDL, of course.

In the specific case of a geometry file for a Poser figure generated by 
Poseray, this does not work (I tried). The file contains first a collection 
of different mesh2's, all assembled into a union at the end, like this:

//Model assembly from the meshes
#declare Beggar_=
union {
object {......}
object {......}
object {......}
....etc
}
