Include command inconsistent with isfile result

General Usage
15

I think you missed the fact that include operates relative to @__DIR__, which has nothing to do with the “current directory”, which is essentially a global state. Cf

$ pwd
/home/tamas

$ cat /tmp/test.jl 
@info "working directory" pwd()
@info "directory of file" @__DIR__

$ julia /tmp/test.jl
┌ Info: working directory
└   pwd() = "/home/tamas"
┌ Info: directory of file
└   #= /tmp/test.jl:2 =# @__DIR__ = "/tmp"

As explained by @pixel27, conflating the two would have obvious disadvantages — global state should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
