You are right. However, some features encourage modular programming and
some feature work against it.

Well, it does. What is a module? It's a black box that does something.
Include is a back door to that black box. Can you write modular programs
using include? Of course you can. Does include encourage you to think
in a modular way? No, I'll give you another example.
Sequence is one type of coupling. Remember that a module should be
decoupled. Each module is separate and distinct and has it's own
(chiselled in stone) interface. Order doesn't matter in calling modules.
Order does matter using include.
