Another possible reason to not use `INCLUDED`:

| INCLUDED may allocate memory in data space before

So if this effect is unacceptable (for example, if you include part of a 
definition), then the solution is `INCLUDE-FILE`.

Also, `REQUIRED` does not load a file that was loaded by `INCLUDED`. 
`INCLUDE-FILE` is free of that too.
