One way to reap the benefits of #include within the framework of the 
existing xTalk world has been doable in a slightly different manner, 
thanks to MC's editScript message:

You can have #include'd code inserted into the actual script when  the 
script editor closes, with only some minor modifications to the existing 
editor.

But in practice, I've found the flexibility of "insert" and "start using" 
have pretty much obviated this need for my own work.
