Perhaps at this point it would make sense to step back and tell us what platform you're on and whether you can figure out the versions of sed and awk you have at your disposal.
If you're on something like HP-UX or Irix and you have very old versions of both awk and sed, maybe a Perl script would be the best solution.
If you're on HP-UX or Solaris then there may be more recent versions of these commands if you look around for a bit. Search these forums for xpg4 and the name of your platform for some pointers.
Maybe you have a command nawk or mawk or gawk which would work better than just awk.
Here's a Perl script, for the heck of it.
This isn't very efficient because it will open a new file handle for each match. It could be improved but it's just a proof of concept anyway.

igawk
IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
