That depends. I've seen intentional unquoted includes in a define(), if you want Min to be defined to the expansion of the contents of conf/MINOR (and thus be expanded a second time when Min is expanded, having read the file exactly once), rather than defining Min to be shorthand for including the file in-place every time Min is expanded.
