This should have the same effect as

include $(top_builddir)/aminclude.am

which Tom is trying to avoid because it is not portable.

If you want to portably include (non-automake) Makefile fragment,
don't use include.  Instead try to use AC_SUBST_FILE, or (IMHO better)
something like AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in:fragment.mk]).
