Works fine here:
$ gawk --version
GNU Awk 5.0.1, API: 2.0 (GNU MPFR 4.0.2, GNU MP 6.1.2)
$ cat one.awk
function f1(n1) {
return n1 + 10
}
$ cat two.awk
@include "one.awk"
BEGIN {
print f1(20)
}
$ unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
$ gawk -f two.awk
30
Finally, I would make a suggestion. "@include" is not POSIX, so if you find
yourself relying on something like this more and more, it might be better to
switch to a proper programming language. Something like Perl, Lua or Tcl.
