Like this then ?

unset INCLUDED ; 
declare -A INCLUDED
find_file() {
    local dir 
    FOUND_FILE=""
    [ $((INCLUDED[${1%.sh}]+=1)) -eq 1 ] || return 1
    while IFS= read -rd ':' dir ;do
        #echo "trying : ${dir}/${1%.sh}.sh"
        [[ -r ${dir}/${1%.sh}.sh ]] || continue
        FOUND_FILE="${dir}/${1%.sh}.sh"
        echo "found : ${FOUND_FILE}"
    done <<< "${PATH}"
    [ -n "${FOUND_FILE:-}" ] || echo "could not find '$1' in PATH" >&2
    return ${FOUND_FILE+1}
} && echo 'find_file "${1:?Missing File Name }" && source "${FOUND_FILE}"' 
>/tmp/source_wrapper.sh && alias include=source\ "/tmp/source_wrapper.sh"


I actually tested this one and it seems to work ok.
