This isn't a recommended usage:

include( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/use-child-theme.php' );

Option A: include get_template_directory() . '/use-child-theme.php';

Option B: require get_template_directory() . '/use-child-theme.php';

I'd actually recommend the following for theme usage:

require_once( trailingslashit( get_template_directory() ) . 'use-child-theme.php' );

And, this for plugin usage:

require_once( trailingslashit( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) ) . 'use-child-theme.php' );

trailingslashit is a personal preference ;) But yeah, that works too!
