<include> is not a selector.  It is a nested element of the (older)
implicit <patternset> formed by <fileset>

<and>.  And it also is a <patternset>.  If you want to, you can view
the patternset as an <or>-like sepector of its own, although the
result of combining <include> and <exclude> doesn't match either <and>
nor <or>.
