`LOAD_PATH` is relevant to loading of packages and modules via `import` or `using`. It’s content has no bearing on code inclusion with `include`.

You either need to specify the full path when using `include` (relative to the path of the calling file, or the working dir in the REPL), or wrap the functions in a module and load it via `import`.

The latter method is certainly the more julian.
