Few points to observe:
1. awk already separates the fields based on whitespaces. So, -F " " is really not necessary.
2. awk follows this: condition {action} by default. So an if-statement can be masked as condition{action}, unless its use is inevitable.
3. awk prints the current line by default. So print $0 is redundant.
4. Implementing all the above points you get what is in post #2 above
Well, to shorten it even more, we can say:

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] 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
