There are two types of include directives in Rez: include and #include.

The #include is used to include other .r files, i.e. text.

The include is used to include resources.  For example:

include "INIT File" 'INIT' (0);

Will grab the INIT resource with ID = 0 from the "INIT File" file.

include "INIT File" 'INIT';

Will grab *all* the INIT reosurces from the file.

include "INIT File";

Will grab *all* the resource from the file.
