### 7.62 `.include "`file`"`

This directive provides a way to include supporting files at specified points in your source program. The code from file is assembled as if it followed the point of the `.include`; when the end of the included file is reached, assembly of the original file continues. You can control the search paths used with the ‘`-I`’ command-line option (see Command-Line Options). Quotation marks are required around file.
