A C-like #include directive is supported, which pulls in lines from a separate file into the script at the position of the #include directive. The syntax is:

#include "filename.txt"

If the filename is not fully qualified, the compiler will look for it in the same directory as the file containing the #include directive. The filename may be prefixed by compiler:, in which case it looks for the file in the Compiler directory.
