No. Only the global context can be extended. But you could make:
1) something like your library file:
>> x: "context [f1: func [x][x]]"
== "context [f1: func [x][x]]"
2) something like your 'include func (without the library file name):
>> include: func [arg][lib: do x set arg/1 get in lib arg/1]
3) now use it:
>> o: context [f1: none include [f1]]
4) the result:
>> probe o
make object! [
f1: func [x][x]
]
The body of the included function remain bind to the original context.
