It's a little awkward to answer clearly without running the risk of
offending you, so please don't take offence ...

The big question and the most likely reason you're not seeing anything
is that your items do not contain what TT expects.

What do you know of what the INCLUDE directive does?

What do your items contain (e.g. what exactly is "missed-nasa3.item")?

Have you found the online TT docs? INCLUDE is described here, for example:
