The =E2=80=98include=E2=80=99 form exists but you would need to use it at t=
he top level.

However, I recommend using Guile=E2=80=99s module system instead.  An examp=
le of
that can be found here:

  =E2=80=A2 modules:
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/modul=
es/sysadmin

  =E2=80=A2 config files that use these modules:
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/berli=
n.scm
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/build=
-machine.scm

Here, assuming you=E2=80=99re in the hydra/ directory, you=E2=80=99d simply=
 run, say:

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

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
