What other things do you put in this include?

All database connections will be "managed" by querymanager, based on
datasource definitions that live in user/conf/datasources.xml.

At the moment, Querymanager doesn't exist in the sense that it is not
integrated into the system - so you'd be best off putting some of that code
in a library, and include it in a module.

While r2 is in development, it is. When all the tools are hooked up, etc you
won't want to do it that way, because it will be 100x easier to use QM.
