So, suppose that a message arrives from [email protected] from the IP 1.2.3.4. 
The SPF lookups are:

example.com
"v=spf1 include:example.net -all"

example.net
"v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 -all"

Does this count as 1 lookup (on example.com) or 2 lookups (on example.com and 
then on the include:example.net), or zero lookups (since the initial txt and 
include are excluded)?

My read of RFC 4408 is that the limit excludes the initial txt record lookup, 
and that the limit on includes is separate from the limit on "a" and "ptr" 
lookups.
