%include files definitely work in CentOS5 & 6.  As the notes in that
bugzilla report point out, it's "normal" for anaconda to not read an
%include file immediately as it parses the ks.cfg file, so while the
error message is correct it is not fatal.

Now if the %include file is still not being read in subsequent passes
through ks.cfg (e.g. after the network has been configured or etc.)
that is a different problem.

If you want help debugging this you'll need to provide more details.
E.g. your ks.cfg file, describe your Kickstart setup (pxe, usb media,
whatever), etc.
