Thanks for your reply, and for the hint on the use of $. I used the code you suggested, but what is doing is to get the first line that says "Generated ..." from inputfile, then pastes the content of Xfile0001, and then it prints the last line of Xfile0001 'ad infinitum' until I disk quota is exceeded, and doesn't print the next line from inputfile saying "Generated..." followed by Xfile0002, and so on. Thanks!
I tried adding a next statement, but doestn't work. Thanks for your advice.

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
