include/1 directive

Is there a way of having the *real* include/1 to include a file into
another one?
The doc says:

 Currently, include/1 is implemented by a call to recursive compile, so
it behaves like compile/1


and it certainly is the case. Having a real include is very different
from compile/1 and, among other things, one cannot divide the definition
of a predicate among different files, etc...

Maybe there is a way to really include a file into another one..

Thanks
