This bug also occured to me, I could reproduce it with the following files
using org-mode 7.7 and 7.8.03:

test.org:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: Foo Bar

start

#+INCLUDE inc.org

end
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

inc.org:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
inc

* Foo

bar
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The relevant part of the exported latex document is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{document}

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}
\section{Foo}
\label{sec-1}


bar

\end{document}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything is removed between the start of the document and the first section
of the included file.

A workaround is to add a non-exported section to the main file:

test2.org:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: Foo Bar

start

* :NOEXPORT:

#+INCLUDE inc.org

end
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this case the latex export looks like:

test2.tex:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{document}

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}

start

\section{Foo}
\label{sec-1}


bar


end

\end{document}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This workaround is not perfect, though, the part before the first section
in the included file is still missing.

The table of contents remained in the exported document in all cases for me.
