You might want to try something like:
@LP
lines @Break @F @Include { "thefile.m" }
where "thefile.m" have slashes, ampersands and pipes enclosed in double
quotes.

Did you run Lout several times so that it can place floating figures
optimally? You should set @OptimizePages to "No" in order to make sure
that Lout actually manages to do that.

There exist @High. @Scale might also be useful.
