I don’t use Org but I imagine the #+include directive is meant for 
other Org files?

Binder takes the approach of not having a “master” document, and 
allowing each separate file to use its own major mode. This was useful 
for me when I had projects that combined Fountain, Markdown and text. 
The .binder.el file then holds the project metadata, i.e. file 
sequencing, tags and notes. Keeping this project metadata separate from 
the files allows it to be stored in a uniform way (i.e. Elisp Data).

Binder also focuses on ease of navigation between project files. This 
maybe overlaps a bit with the Project package, although I think that is 
aimed more at code projects than writing.
