Bill, as far as I can see the log points to line 4 in hank.org, not
the included file. I've already explained why - each resource record
has to have an owner, but when you use the include file, the NS
records don't have any. However, if you put the SOA before the
$INCLUDE directive, you have a default owner (default domain in ARM
terminology).

So, the problem occurs when the $INCLUDE is the first thing in the
file, and then right after it come the NS records, without an explicit
owner. If you put the SOA before the $INCLUDE, it makes a difference.

Also, I would look at the permissions for /etc/rndc.key, if you want
to be able to use rndc to control named.
