You need to rearchitect your system.
When you include a file, its code executes. Once it has been executed, it is
done. It will never "rewind" itself. You can open and edit the file, but
the code has already executed and that execution has happened, and you cannot
change that.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Dollars to donuts there's a much
easier and more logical way than trying to edit an included file.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
