Actually, PmWiki never uses "filenames" -- it always uses
page names.  So, in short answer to your question -- no, there's
not a "filename" variable in PmWiki... but you don't really
need or want the _filename_, because PmWiki itself never uses
it for editing/includes/whatever.

Are you using PmWiki 2.2.0-beta?  If so, then putting 
{$FullName}?action=edit at the beginning of each Staff page will
do exactly what you expect.  (If you're using 2.1.x, then {$FullName}
refers to the page containing the includes, which isn't what you
want.)

You may be able to do this much more easily using pagelists and/or
trails.  For example, on your Staff.HomePage, you could
write:

  (:pagelist group=Staff list=normal fmt=#incedit:)

  (:if false:)
  [[#incedit]]
  %rfloat% [[ {=$FullName}?action=edit | edit {=$FullName} ]]
  !! {=$FullName}  
  (:include {=$FullName}:)
  [[#inceditend]]

This will display a list of all pages in the Staff group
with edit links for each.  See, for example, 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/ProfileList, where I've used
pagelist to display the initial contents of the first 50 profiles
pages on pmwiki.org, with edit links to each.
