Have you actually tried your minimal example? For me it just works.

If there is an error finding / loading the included file itself, you
should get an error message for that, when starting the plugin. You can
test this very easily by trying to include a non-sense file name.

However, I suspect the problem is that the include statement never gets
run at all. While factoring out common code between several
similar plugins (which is the whole point of the include statement),
it's easy to look at the wrong file without noting... Another common
trap is to be working on a local working copy of a plugin, while rkward
is loading a different version of the plugin from an installed
location. If unsure, try inserting some code that will have a visible
effect (such as producing an error).
