On the contrary - unless you've re-written webpy's cheetah.py [1], then
it does its own hacky #include, and dropping support from Cheetah will
make no difference to you.

For what it's worth, I support removing #include and using more
intelligent on-demand compiling of parent templates required by #extends
if a user doesn't want to compile to .py first.

[1] web.py has deprecated cheetah support for its home-rolled templating
language (which continues to look more like Cheetah every day). However,
for the old support that the OP is referring to, see the
__compiletemplate function at the top of
http://github.com/webpy/webpy/blob/a5a1ab1cb10106ea678e9741790668063c3cfdd1/web/cheetah.py
