That explains it all.  This won't work for two reasons.

1. include's argument must be a raw filename.  
   We don't support variables here.  
   (Except $(top_srcdir) and $(srcdir) for convenience.)

2. If you include a file in Makefile.am, this included file will be 
   distributed with your package for the same reason Makefile.am is
   distributed.  So this file should be *inside* your source tree,
   or you will have surprises when you run `make dist'.

In short, copy automake.mk into your source tree, and include
it with

include automake.mk

or 

include $(top_srcdir)/makefiles/automake.mk
