It seems to be as simple as

    patsubst(include(`file'),`searchstring',`replacement')

so it fully expands the contents of `file', then does the substitution,
and then expands the result again.

I hope your definitions are simple enough so that you don't mind the
second expansion.

Have a nice day,
