The only thing to keep in mind is it's an extra disk hit (hit to the page, and a hit to the include from the page that's calling it).

I use them all over the place on my sites and have yet to become spindle bound.

The pro to using them is it's easy to centralize things (such as headers or metas) so that you can make a global change by editing one file.

Personally, I highly recommend includes when appropriate, and it appears to me that your use is more than appropriate. The alternative would be to have thousands of individual files that contain the same thing your include has.

Hope that helps.
