No, it isn't. The docs clearly say that the included file "is
implicitely converted into a template printer AT GENERATION TIME."

See the documentation for CREATE-TEMPLATE-PRINTER - specifically the
:DO-NOT-CACHE keyword. If you're sure you'll never want to use the
cache write an :AROUND method for CREATE-TEMPLATE-PRINTER which sets
the FORCE parameter accordingly.
