Python handles globals badly.

Sorry, that doesn't work because it takes locals from the include
function. You probably need something more like this:

def include(filename, globals):
    exec(open(filename).read(), globals)

To be called like:

include("foo.py", globals())

If you want to get fancy you could probably have include inspect the
stack to pull the globals from the parent stack frame instead of
explicitly passing them in.
