Hi,
  How can I make MPinclusions consider # as a normal character.

\startMPinclusions
input metaobj;

vardef block@#(text name) text options=
   newRBox@#(textext(name)) options;
enddef;
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext
\startMPpage
  block.source("Source") ;
  source.c = origin ;
  drawObj(source) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

gives

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \theMPinclusions.

                    (

vardef block@##(
                                                   text name) text
