I'll look into that, but I think -- to the extent that I'm able to, at
these hours -- that the answer is that in real life, the included file
does not just contain the ly-file, but is a full chapter of its own,
so it needs to be kept in a separate file altogether. I think... 
This example was just to make it as minimal as possible. So while your
solution is certainly a workaround which works to some extent, it also
shows that the output=out thing has its limits.
But thanks for your input (or should that be include...? :-)

I understand. I hope it will be fixed.
