Are you sure? I looked for the string "include" in pdfsync.sty (version 
0.6 from January 2004) and only found it in the redefinition of 
\InputIfFileExists:

     % patching LaTeX \InputIfFileExists for \include and \input
     \let\PDFSYNC at InputIfFileExists\InputIfFileExists%
     \long\def \InputIfFileExists##1##2##3{%
	  \immediate\write\PDFPOS{(##1}%
       \PDFSYNC at InputIfFileExists{##1}{##2}{##3}%
       \immediate\write\PDFPOS{)}}%

How would it affect a user's redefinition of \include? There may be 
issues regarding the order in which things are done (redefining 
\include then calling pdfsync.sty, or the other way round), of course.
