    Now, how can I include such a file into a texinfo-source, in a way that 

The easiest way is to use @set and @value.  For instance, version.texi
could contain:
@set version 0.0.2
@set releasedate Whenever, 2004

And then your main document could say:
@include version.texi
...
This is for version @value{version}, released @value{releasedate}.

For an example, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/GNU-Sample-Texts.html

(That example is much longer, it includes all the boilerplate for GNU
manuals, but you can see the version.texi stuff there.)


Hope this helps,
karl
