No.  Usual `require's work the same.  The problem is when you want
some text file to include some other text file.  The scribble/text
language always prints things, which means that

  foo
  @(require "blah")
  bar

will get you the output from "blah" too, but requires happen before
the current module is invoked, so that output will come before "foo"
is printed.
