You can take a look at process_file() in psql's command.c if you're interested to see how psql, which itself uses libpq to talk to Postgres, implements the \i backslash command. You haven't really explained why just having your application call out to psql won't work. You could, of course, attempt to duplicate the functionality of process_file() but frankly I suspect doing so would result in a poorly implemented subset of psql.
