Would using a function help?

%%%% main.ly
\version "2.19.83"

fetch = #(define-scheme-function (pet) (string?)
  #{ \include #(string-join (list pet "ily") ".") #})

\fetch "kitten"
\fetch "puppy"
%%%%

%%%% kitten.ily
\version "2.19.83"
\markup "I like kittens."
%%%%

%%%% puppy.ily
\version "2.19.83"
\markup "I like puppies."
%%%%
