Can't #include a file

So I'm writing a script, and I've gotten to just the last part where I'm trying to optimize my code.  In order to do this, I have another program called 'PerformanceMonitor.inc' that I would like to include in my script.  I've read through the DXL manual and several forum posts, and from what I can tell I'm properly including this document, but I get a syntax error every time.  The following is the line of code I'm using to include.

#include <c:\\Users\\ruggiero\\Documents\\DXL\\PerformanceMonitor.inc>

When I run my script with this line, I get the following error:

-E- DXL: <c:\\Users\\ruggiero\\Documents\\DXL\\PerformanceMonitor.inc:265> syntax error
Included from:
 <Line:22> 
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 1. Warnings reported: 0.

An interesting thing to note is that if I change the file path to something I know doesn't exist (i.e. DXL\\PerformanceMonitor123456789.inc), I get an error saying that the file cannot be opened.  So it would seem that the file, when the correct path is used, is able to be opened, but I still get this syntax error.

Any help would be greatly appreciate!

The error is telling you there is a syntax error INSIDE the file PerformanceMonitor.inc, at line 265 ... This is not an error, that there is a problem with including the file. Regards, Mathias
