Probably not with just (:include:). (:include:) doesn't track what
pages are included, and in any case PTVs aren't read from the page
together with the other markup, but as a completely separate process
working from the raw markup where (:pagelist:) and (:include:) aren't
processed.

It might help if you explained what you want in more detail.

For a random possibility, if you could instead use a pagelist to
generate the list of pages to include (eg. by tagging each of those
with a PTV), and then put the (:include:) inside a pagelist template,
you could use a different template with the same list in order to do
stuff with the PTVs on those pages.
