I'm reluctant to add a command-line option for something that can be so
easily coded in native m4.  On the other hand, m4 2.0 will allow loadable
modules thanks to libtool, so you could write a C module that redefines
include to have your desired semantics, and load that on top of the normal
modules to change include at the C level rather than the m4 level.
