include means include file and don't generate any critical error if there is error like file is not found in Ruby .
require means file must be included . if file is not found or file is not included than program should be stop run because its very very much required to run before next set of code run so it is called require
include - loose file inclusion and require is tight file inclusion in Ruby
in Ruby , include will generate error but dont stop run of the code and require stop the execution of the code if any error is there , mostly file not found error stop it .
