Just use concatenation:

include 'includes/link_'.$variable.'.php';

FYI, this is a security risk. You should sanitize and validate that value before you use it.

This might help:

<?php

/* This example assumes that www.example.com is configured to parse .php
* files and not .txt files. Also, 'Works' here means that the variables
* $foo and $bar are available within the included file. */

// Won't work; file.txt wasn't handled by www.example.com as PHP
include 'http://www.example.com/file.txt?foo=1&bar=2';

// Won't work; looks for a file named 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2' on the
// local filesystem.
include 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

// Works.
include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

$foo = 1;
$bar = 2;
include 'file.txt';  // Works.
include 'file.php';  // Works.

?>

It can be concatenated like any other string:

include 'includes/link_' .$variable;

However, when using user input in includes, you must validate and verify the data to ensure you don't leave yourself open to a Local File Inclusion vulnerability.

You can simply use it as the string it is:

include 'includes/link_'.$variable;

Be careful with trying to use includes on code that is based on user input. Trouble trouble, boil and bubble!
