Is there a way in Github to include md files in for example the README.md?

# Headline

Text

[include](File:load_another_md_file_here.md)

It should not link to the file, it should load the contents from it, like PHP include / file_get_contents.

That does not seem to be possible, especially when considering github/markup#346 and github/markup#172.

No include directive is supported.
