I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want to do.  What do you mean
by "an include directive"?

What the above does is print the first word in the file demo_c0.txt.  Is
that not what you want?  Is that not what it does?

Please provide a complete example, including the contents of the
"demo_c0.txt" file and the make command you run, and show output you get
(cut and paste it from the actual invocation, please, don't just
paraphrase it), and explain what output you WANTED to get.
