I don't know about including a file but you could include a content 
element like this:

lib.footerField = RECORDS
lib.footerField {
   dontCheckPid = 1
   source = tt_content_187
   tables = tt_content
}

You can put the content element (of type HTML) somewhere on a page that 
is not displayed in a menu. Then you can even edit it directly in TYPO3.
