We use %include /tmp/network every day, it works just fine.

No, you can't just use variables in the network line.

And I don't believe that you will be able to insert or include or modify
the network line parameters during %pre.  Yes, this works for packages
and partitioning, but I think it's too late for network parameters.  Now
I could be wrong, maybe that is not true for dhcp or cd-based installs.
(You haven't said what your install method is, though you mentioned a
dhcp server in passing.)
