Imagine I had a model that is split into several files for a better overview.
car_base.inc
car_textures.inc
car_tyres.inc
.....
Would you include them all individually in your executing script?
Or would you expect all includes to be done automatically in e.g. car_base.inc?
I have quite a few models here that I would like to publish, but I'm not sure
about the handling.
If there should be an auto-include, the car_base.inc would have to be given a
path where it can find the rest of the files - relative to the script executed.

not really I think, but you could (perhaps) supply one or more paths via a CLI
declare, ie:
$ povray ... declare=library_path=/some/path/
you'll need to "fuss" with quoting the construct for most shells, easier to use
an ini file, imo.

there sort-of is, see 'include_header',
<https://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Scene_Parsing_Options#Include_File_Name>.
