There's no problem with having an (:include ...:) within a (:div:).
However, if the (:include:) has any (:div:) or (:table:) markups
in it, they'll terminate the previous div just as if they had been
in the "outer" markup.

There's generally little reason to wrap a table in a div -- just add 
any wanted attributes directly to the table.  I.e., instead of 
trying to do

   (:div id='something':)
   (:table:)
   ...
   (:tableend:)
   (:divend:)

just do

   (:table id='something':)
   ...
   (:tableend:)
