I personally don't think Lua should have this. A preprocessor doesn't suit Lua well, and

For the record, Lua 3 had a preprocessor, it was dropped in 4.
With textual includes comes a number of problems.
You might want to introduce tricks to avoid double includes, like
#ifnotdef _module_name_
#define _module_name_
#endif
It might be easier to do recursive includes.
Included files doesn't need to be syntactically correct!
I can imagine wonderful/awful tricks, like having a start of block comment at the end of
an included file and the end at the start of another:
#include MyModuleCommentingOutRemainderOfCode
some(code)
#include EndOfMyModuleClosingComment
and so on.
I am not sure I want that... :-)
