Includes in pre scripts

[Hearn, Stan J.]

Okay, I think I get it.  "%include" can have anaconda specific commands
where as "sh some_file" would specifically be shell scripting.  But
can't the "%include" contain shell commands?

I don't mean to be obtuse, but I was surprised to hear that include
wasn't working by executing the shell contents, but I'm assuming that is
because it was outside a %pre or %post?  Shell commands are not allowed
outside %pre or %post, right?
