Not sure what an "include" is, specifically... but dmake does the
response files, and since it's distributed in source, you could have a
go at writing "include" into it. dmake was posted to the net recently,
in alt.sources (I think).
I've been using dmake on an AT clone for a couple of days. The source
distribution supports both MSC and TC; the configuration is a little
unusual but it comes up very easily.
Dmake supports both included files and response file generation and
much more. It is a <<very>> nice, extended make. The most recent
distribution does not have a swapping-spawn, that is dmake remains
resident while it runs commands, but I'm sure that will change soon.
Dmake is distributed under the terms of the Gnu Public License.
I think dmake will turn out to be a major utility, especially on MSDOS
where the environment imposes such bizarre requirements on make
programs. I'd like to thank Dennis Vadura, whom I believe is dmake's
principal author.
