I'm by no means an expert, but I would try:

include = %H/smb.conf

According to the manpage, you cannot use the %u variable:

---------------------------------

include (G)

     This allows you to include one config file inside another. The file 
is included literally, as though typed in place.

     It takes the standard substitutions, except %u, %P and %S.

     Default: include =

     Example: include = /usr/local/samba/lib/admin_smb.conf
