I don't think so.

  #+include: file src python

means that file is really a python file, whose contents are going to be
enclosed in a Python source code block. So Res 2 and Res 3 are not
meaningful in that case; you cannot apply link search syntax to non-Org
files.

"Include" is an export-only directive, which is not the case
of :exports. They live in two different worlds, and I think it is a good
thing to keep them orthogonal.

You may be looking after Babel calls.
