Thanks, Sven. In principle, using "include" within a function should work OK -- provided that it doesn't result in trying to define a function inside a function, as happens in your example. That is explicitly declared to the invalid in the User's Guide and there's supposed to be a guard in place against it, but either the guard has been subject to bitrot or it's somehow defeated by the wrapping of a function definition in "include". Anyway, the behavior exposed by your example is a bug, and I'll see about fixing it.
