$up and $down in the awk script won't be expanded due to the single quotes. Be careful - in the script, $1 et al. are awk fields, not the shell script's positional parameters. And why do you use that dangerous (eval!) and cumbersome method to define the two variables? $i will not be available within awk - see above (will not be expanded, and if, would be an internal field). Nor will the shell arithmetic expression work.

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 {

EOF
igawk -f test.awk
