The ‘include’ form exists but you would need to use it at the top level.

However, I recommend using Guile’s module system instead.  An example of
that can be found here:

  • modules:
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/modules/sysadmin

  • config files that use these modules:
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/berlin.scm
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/build-machine.scm

Here, assuming you’re in the hydra/ directory, you’d simply run, say:

  guix system reconfigure -L ./modules ./berlin.scm

HTH!

Ludo’.
