Hello,

I confirm this is not possible.

I get the following errors from pacman meaning Includes are not
supported for options, only for mirrors:
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 51: directive 'Include
/etc/pacman.d/qubes-updateproxy.conf' in section 'options' not recognized.
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 52: directive 'Include
/etc/pacman.d/qubes-noupdate.conf' in section 'options' not recognized.
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 53: directive 'Include
/etc/pacman.d/qubes-repositories.conf' in section 'options' not recognized.

I opened a feature request ( I've done a copy/paste of your text :) )
