If you use a directory with your main reminders file and all the included
files you can express the dependencies easily with a Makefile in the same
directory and have a cron-job (or even remind in daemon-mode itself) run make
to update the main reminders file on-demand with a rule like this:

REMIND_INCLUDES = $(wildcard remind-*)

reminders: $(REMIND_INCLUDES)
	@touch $@


Kind regards,
