It isn't that serious of a situation.  One can just comment out the
offending line in /etc/named.conf and named will startup.  The file
/var/log/messages will have the pathname of the include that is no
longer there and a quick scan of /etc/named.conf file show where it it
included from.  It is pain in the neck, but not a fatal catch-22.
