If you still want to try and include the script instead you can try the following
Link man by default is not really includable, so that may or may not work as expected a few weeks ago I had a buddy of mine try and include LinkMan into his site and it semi worked just that on post it would bounce out of his page this is because the script will need to know what it's posting to, I simplified his problem by moding his script code just a little, this may or may not help with your problem basically to get the script to do a correct include I did the following.
I added PHP_SELF to his code so that it then posts to the page its included into, no mater what the page is called.
So in LinkMan you will see the code that allows you to submit the form.
Something like
<form method="post" action="links.php">
I changed that to
<?php
$self = trim(strip_tags($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
echo '<form method="post" action="'.$self.'">'."\n";
?>
Thus allowing us to include the script into another page a bit easier.
When doing so you will want to remove the header footer calls as they will no longer be needed.

Sometimes depending on how a script is used you may have to get the path automatically so that no matter where it is it can still find its path, I write that into scripts when im going to include a script into another and I want it to get the correct paths.
This is something I wrote to get the paths of our data files for linkman in a specially modified includable version I did for a client.
//Lets automatically get the actual dir our included script is in ...
//This is now needed as we are including our script in another page.
$script = (__FILE__);
$scriptn = dirname($script);
$scriptn = substr(strrchr($scriptn, "/"), +1);
$settings['linkfile'] = "$scriptn/".$settings['linkfile'];
$settings['banfile'] = "$scriptn/".$settings['banfile'];
