Yes. I just tested this idea.

You could expand to:

include.rkt:
#lang racket/base

(define (f x) 1)

(module* test #f
  (require racket/include)
  (include "include-tests.rkt"))

include-tests.rkt:
(require rackunit)
(check-equal? (f 1) 1)
(check-equal? (f 3) 2)

Although I personally don't like it as much :)
