Thanks for passing this along.  The problem is clear.

I did not know that a file handle defined on FILE HANDLE could be
used on INCLUDE, so PSPP does not support that syntax.  I have
filed a PSPP bug report saying that it should support this
syntax, at:
        http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?30531

Until this bug is fixed, you should be able to make this syntax
run by putting the file names directly into the INCLUDE command
syntax, like so:
        include 
file='C:\anes\anes2008_2009panel\20090616\anes2008_2009panel_columns.sps'.
and similarly for the other files mentioned on INCLUDE commands.
