Security concerns aside (which should not be set aside)...

I'm assuming you are tlaking about the IncludeFile recipe.  If so,
change the definition from

===(snip)===
Markup('includefile', '<block',
  '/\\(:includefile\\s*(.*?):\\)/ei',
  "Keep(includeTextAsCodeFunc('$pagename',PSS('$1')))");
===(snip)===

to

===(snip)===
Markup('includefile', '<block',
  '/\\(:includefile\\s*(.*?):\\)/ei',
  "PRR(includeTextAsCodeFunc('$pagename',PSS('$1')))");
===(snip)===

(Notice the change from "Keep" to "PRR".)

Or, alternatively, you could create a new markup called includemarkup like this:

===(snip)===
Markup('includemarkup', '<block',
  '/\\(:includemarkup\\s*(.*?):\\)/ei',
  "PRR(includeTextAsCodeFunc('$pagename',PSS('$1')))");
===(snip)===

I think either of these will allow this recipe to run markup rules
over the text that is included.  No guarantees, but it's worth a shot.
