You need to use the builtin function $$Shell to get the value of a shell 
variable.  For example:
                 #include $$Shell("MPW")"MPW shell";

I think you will have to have some kind of loop to process multiple files. 
 The include directives in Rez won't accept a list of files.  

One possibility is to keep the list of files in a text file and 
mechanically generate the CDXset.r file and set the shell variable 
{COMPLETE} when that file changes.  You can add a dependency line to your 
make file to take care of this, and the shell script for mechanically 
generating CDXset.r and {COMPLETE} should be pretty simple.
