Since (I believe) the include form simply performs a textual insertion, 
keep in mind that you won't be able to have two definitions of
the same identifier, as you could at the top level.

Also, if you remove 'module' from the list of 'lambda-like' keywords in 
the preference panel.  Then, if you put a newline right after the 
'module' (that is, before specifying the language name), you'll find 
that the remaining lines of the file are indented by only one character.
FWIW.
