Why make's include directive does not work

Hi:
      I have a problem when I come to managing my c library using gnu
make(version  3.81). There is a rule named pyscript/init.py in my
makefile below(see my makefile below). This rule should is invoked
after make find include directive (include pyscript/init), but in
fact, in my computer(running fedora 5 linux), "pyscript/init" rule is
not actually invoked.
      Maybe, the most odd problem is that, when I remove "include $
(dependences)" , all problem go away!!! Can you tell me why? Thank you
very much.
