It's just like including a normal file. It won't take the text from the
included file and put it directly into your file. Instead, the include
file is parsed just as any other include file and it must conform to
Euphoria syntax. So given: include dynamic.e

Euphoria reads it like this:
C:\Fuphoria\Win32Lib\Versions\v50\Win32Lib.ew

instead of:
include C:\Fuphoria...

Of course, the interpreter has to use a seperate namespace for the local
identifiers etc., but that's basically how it's seen. Your entire include
statement is replaced, not just the file name.
