Is the word incluir the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The only difference between "incluir" in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated, even in unstressed syllables. In Continental Portuguese, there is a heavy "vowel reduction," where unstressed vowels are often swallowed or pronounced very shortly, making the word sound more "closed" or clipped. The spelling, meaning, and grammatical conjugation are identical in both dialects.
