Given that `include' only exists in the `module' form, whose mapping to
the filesystem is unspecified, then this is also unspecified.

However the way that Guile will deal with this will probably be to
search the load path for the file.  That said, it's unclear which of the
following forms it should be:

 (module (foo)
   (include "foo/bar"))

 (module (foo)
   (include "foo/bar.scm"))

 (module (foo)
   (include "bar"))

 (module (foo)
   (include "bar.scm"))

I lean towards the first option, FWIW.
