Yes.  #include files are managed through the driver object, via the
path_include() function.  All files automatically include the standard
include file; in driver->path_include() you can redirect this to a
different file for a specific set of objects.  That file can contain
an inherit statement.

Doing it from the create function is not going to be possible, since
that code will only be executed after the object has already been
compiled.
