I would rather say it was a choice of Robert not to implement dynamic
includes.
There a few down sides .. really.

First of all .. you would need to make a little effort in the error handling
part.
Conditional includes would only make sense when routine overloading is
enabled and a condtionally included file can only *overload* global
routines, not add any new ones.

Imagine the confusion when you have compile time errors that appear on
'some' of the runs .. wouldn't that be .. like asking for trouble ?
