If you had looked in the index of Lamport's book (2nd edition of
course), you would have seen
\include, 73, 211
cannot be nested, 137
[...]
and sure enough, that is what it says on page 137. Admittedly this
restriction does not seem to be mentioned in the main text on
\include, and I don't see it in the Companion at all. But given that
it is listed in the book, it must be presumed to be intentional and
not something you can expect to be `corrected'.
The excerpt
\def\include#1{\relax
\ifnum\@auxout=\@partaux
\@latex@error{\string\include\space cannot be nested}\@eha
\else \@include#1 \fi}
from latex.ltx tells the same story.
That being said, I believe your question is inappropriate on this list.
Tex-k is for the discussion of a particular implementation of Unix TeX
and related programs, not for general TeX or LaTeX questions.
