You can not include header file as such during runtime.

There are other ways to include code at runtime like load dlls, but to answer your question you cannot include header file as such on the fly.

You can build static libraries and dynamic libraries and load them in your application. However, it is more platform specific than language specific.
You can use COM and point to right implementation of the function (rather interface).
There are many ways to achieve an objective, You need to select one which suits best to you.
Don't worry; Not only you but no one can include header files during run time 
.
Just chuck the purpose; “#include” is a PREPROCESSOR directive. You would like to include header file even before you start compilation.

Use pure virtual functions (run time polymorphism C++).
Or call functions in if else or switch blocks.
You can not surch or enamurate all functions of a executable.

Suppose I want to search for such methods, what keywords should I use?

You can use component object modeling, runtime polymorphism, Pure virtual functions.

I think it would help everyone to understand if you would provide some examples. Do you need functions to display information in different languages, such as English, German, French etc.? You create a language DLL for each language you want to support then install the desired language dll when you install the rest of the program. I'm certain you must have seen this before when you try to install something that other people have written.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
Actually I've coded a common interface for a two-player fighting (strategy-based) game. Now, The strategy (technically speaking, A.I.) code has to be written by the players in separate files. I thought I'd include those two files at runtime (because there would be many strategy files, each of them numbered) in my main code to start the game.
Thank you all for your replies.
As this approach won't work, I'd appreciate if you show me some another way of doing the same thing in C.

Use DLLs like AD suggested. Instead of supplying a language it should supply an AI. The functions will be the same for each AI DLL, so the only variable will be the name of the DLL opened with LoadLibrary().

If this is turn-based, the cleanest way to do this is with pipes. Have the AI programs communicate over stdin and stdout, and have the main program fork processes and setup pipes and launch the AI programs with the pipes tied to stdin and stdout. That way (also) you don't have to worry about AI programs going and reading/writing to strange places in memory in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's AI.
