Here's a patch to improve the error message.
I'll push it to stable-2.0 if there are no objections.

    Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] Improve error when 'include' form with relative path is not
 in a file.

Reported by Nala Ginrut <address@hidden>.

* module/ice-9/psyntax.scm (include): Give a proper error message when
  given a relative pathname, and when the form is not in a file.

* module/ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm: Regenerate.
