First and foremost, you cannot nest single quotes in single quotes. You can't escape anything in single quotes either, so not even backslashes will fix it. You'll have to put double quotes on the outside.
Second, not all systems have gawk. In fact very few systems have gawk; even systems like Linux which default to it just call it awk.
Your awk command is simple enough that hopefully vanilla awk can handle it, even the awful old versions some systems have.

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
