No includes are allowed in BOR object type programs, since code
fragments could make their way into the program, which would jeopardize
the object encapsulation (in particular by including DATA statements).

How to fix this error?

Define your constants and types using a type group and include it via
the statement TYPE-POOLS. For new data, use attributes.
