Uh, if you write the content of the included file _exactly_ where
\include #filename now is, you get _exactly_ the same error. Your
inclusion works perfectly fine. It's just that the syntax in the file
is not valid syntax inside of #{ ... #}.
If you want to include the file instead at the _top_ level, try
includeFunction = #(define-void-function (filename) (string?)
(ly:parser-include-string (format "\\include ~s"
filename)))
However, depending on the context you use this in, you might get
surprised by just _when_ the inclusion happens.
