Wouldn’t it be possible to have a list in Frescobaldi of ‘include alias 
functions’, which for the purpose of you mention are treated just like 
\include? The way I think of it, a \includeOnce or \require function 
like you propose should have the same strings be eligible arguments, and 
also one could be certain that after \require "foo.ly" the contents of 
foo.ly would always be ‘known’ to the parser, i.e. auto-complete could 
be used?
