What is "$INCLUDE /var/named/Interno/." intended to accomplish? Looks like
you're trying to $INCLUDE a Unix directory into your zone file. Not a file
*in* that directory, mind you, but the directory *itself*. That's not going
to work. A Unix directory is basically binary data and named isn't going to
be able to parse it sanely as a resource record.

Why don't you just put all of the PTR records directly into the
168.192.in-addr.arpa zone file? I'm not sure what the point is of all those
$INCLUDEs...
