It sounds like you might have done something like this. In a file a.ly
you have

    \include "b.ly"

and in the file b.ly you have

    \include "a.ly"

So, when you run Lilypond on a.ly, it finds the \include command, and
immediately goes to read b.ly. While it's doing this, it finds that
\include command, and immediately goes to read a.ly. While it's doing
that, it sees the first \include again, goes to read b.ly, and so on.
Lilypond is in an infinite loop because that's exactly what you told it
to do.

Guessing from your description, what you want to do is have the notes
that will appear in cues defined in a file called (for example)
"cues.ly", then include this file from each part's file so you can use
the notes it defines in that part's cues and in the part itself.
