This should preferably be avoided. 
Maybe the safest way would be, that the include file initially dosn't
contain any code at all. The file must exist, but it has a size of 0,
or only contains a comment. Then the program dynamically writes the
actual include file as intended, and restarts itself.

Or if a wrong include file causes the program to crash (A include file
dynamically written by the program also can contain a bug!), maybe this
problem can be solved using the new crash_routine() in Eu 2.5? The
crash_routine() writes a new include file, and then restarts the program?
I haven't tetsted it myself yet, but there might be some interesting
possibilities.
