Either;

 1.  Wrap the code in a CDATA marked section, like this;

     <programlisting><![ CDATA [#include <stdio.h>
     
     int main(void) { printf("hello, world\n"); }]]></programlisting>

     This won't work if the code you're including has ']]>' in it somewhere.

 2.  s/</&lt;/g in the code you include.

 3.  Keep it as a separate file, and use a gross hack in the stylesheets.

     <programlisting><inlinegraphic format="linespecifc fileref="filename.c">
     </inlinegraphic></programlisting>

     which will pull in filename.c as the output is being processed, and
     do the right thing.
