              Read and process the file <filename>filename</filename> as
              if it were included into the file at this point.  If <command>orig
in</command> is
              specified the file is processed with <command>$ORIGIN</command> se
t
              to that value, otherwise the current <command>$ORIGIN</command> is
              used.

            <para>
              The origin and the current domain name
              revert to the values they had prior to the <command>$INCLUDE</comm
and> once
              the file has been read.

            <note>
              <para>
                RFC 1035 specifies that the current origin should be restored
                after
                an <command>$INCLUDE</command>, but it is silent
                on whether the current
                domain name should also be restored.  BIND 9 restores both of
                them.
                This could be construed as a deviation from RFC 1035, a
                feature, or both.
