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 =E2=80=9Cuse-modules=E2=80=9D clause in your operating sy=
stem
configuration.

2. Include the file with =E2=80=9C(include "/path/to/file-name")=E2=80=9D. =
 You can use
a relative file name here.
