Sorry if this is too obvious, but how can I insert a model (such as .3ds
from 3DS Max) into my scene? Also, how can I use it's UV mapping?

Povray doesn't support 3ds models directly, but you can use PoseRay to
convert it
to Pov's mesh format. PoseRay is a free program available here:
http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/

I believe PoseRay preserves the UV mapping when it does the conversion.

Well, I have a program that can export my model into an include file. if I
do this, how would I use it?

simply by including that file to your scene: #include "nameofthefile.inc"

Depending on how your include file is composed, you might have to call the
model as well

#include "nameofthefile.inc"

object { mymodel
// scale, rotate, translate if required
}
