I get this error when double clicking on the Define in a procedure via the Dev Studio v7.7.03 Report Painter:

Error Parsing MASTER File FOC_ACTION(0)

if I have these two lines in a -INCLUDE before the Define:

-SET &PREV_BUS_DTX = EDIT(&PREV_BUS_DT,'9999/99/99');
-SET &PREV_BUS_DT_YM = EDIT(&PREV_BUS_DT,'$$99-99');

They have nothing to do with the Define, nor the subsequent Report - they're not used in either. If I remove these, then the Define and Report open.

The Define is a one-liner:
DEFINE FILE FOC_ACTION
ACTION_NAME/A300=IF '&IBIWF_language' EQ 'FR' THEN ACTION || (' - ' | ACTION_FR) ELSE ACTION || (' - ' | ACTION_EN);
END

Weird. I don't get any errors trying to do something similar ... well, at least with the CAR table. 
-SET &PREV_BUS_DTX = EDIT(&PREV_BUS_DT,'9999/99/99');
-SET &PREV_BUS_DT_YM = EDIT(&PREV_BUS_DT,'$$99-99');
DEFINE FILE CAR
ACTION_NAME/A300 WITH CAT=IF '&IBIWF_language' EQ 'FR' THEN COUNTRY || (' - ' | CAR) ELSE COUNTRY || (' - ' | MODEL);
END


I tried both having -SET in an external .fex (via -INCLUDE) and inline as my example above ... DEFINE tool has no problem ... all it does is prompting me for &PREV_BUS_DT before and then opens fine, at least on my 7.7.03 Hotfix 1 Dev Studio.

I am doing all of this directly in the Reporting Server but MRE shouldn't be any different, should it?

We always comment out our -INCLUDEs before opening a report in RP.

I thought the issue was with the -INCLUDE statement itself, but if commenting out the included file's contents helps, then that particular DM-statement is apparently not the cause. Peculiar...

It's a bit of a pain, as our standard style-sheet gets included with -INCLUDE as well.
