I'm not sure what you mean. Being included and being processed are the same
thing. Procmail does only one pass through the rcfiles: it doesn't read
ahead to the end, doing some sort of run-time compile, and then process the
message from the beginning; it just reads as it goes.
So if you have this:
:0 flags
* conditions
{ INCLUDERC=somefile }
and the conditions are met, somefile is read, included, processed, tickled,
soaked, sued, escorted to the prom, whatever term you want to use. If the
conditions are not met, the value of INCLUDERC is not changed (a subsequent
reference to $INCLUDERC will source its previous value, if any), and
somefile is just ignored; it is not read, included, processed, tickled,
soaked, sued for anything, nor escorted anywhere.
