I know some people think it is cool to write unreadable 1-line awk scripts. But, when awk tells you that END is invalid at that point in the script and you can't see that you have mismatched braces, it is time to reorganize your code so you can read it. If we reformat your script as:
It is easy to see that the first { in red should have a matching } before the END and that the code on the last line in red doesn't have a match either.
It is also much easier to see that you are looking for two strings anywhere on a line and then looking for those same two strings in specific fields. Why test each condition twice?
Would this do what you want:

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
