In case you don't already know it, this sounds like the behavior that

ctrl+w f

gives you, so you can keep "gf" around to open the file under the
cursor in the *same* window and use ^Wf to open the file under the
cursor in a *new* window :-)

(that said, I think the OP was asking for a visual inclusion of the
other file which is a lot more challenging to do. I'm of this
open-in-a-new-window school, too)

-tim

:help CTRL-W_f
