Short answer: because "if" is ugly hack, see
http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil.

Long answer: "include" isn't something special per config file
syntax, and should be explicitly supported by every directive
which takes block as argument. In it's turn "if" takes block as
argument and doesn't explicitly support "include". And nobody is
willing to dig into it due to already outlined reasons (see short
answer).
