There are two ways to do this:

1. place your service definitions in a Guile module and put the
directory containing the module files onto GUILE_LOAD_PATH.  Refer to
the module with a “use-modules” clause in your operating system
configuration.

2. Include the file with “(include "/path/to/file-name")”.  You can use
a relative file name here.
