Although that's a good start, it seems a little too specific.  What I 
had in mind would be the equivalent to the source command in bash.  For 
example,

if condition; then
  include (hd0,3)/grub/custom/themes/themeA.cfg
else
  include (hd0,2)/boot/grub/themes/themeB.cfg
fi

# Get menuentries
include /boot/grub/grub.d/*.cfg

I have no preference to the keyword.  Either include or source would work.
