Remember: In Remind, you can use expression-pasting (almost) anywhere on
a line, so something like:
INCLUDE [getenv("HOME")]/.reminders
should do the trick.

That's what SYSINCLUDE is for. You need Remind version >= 05.02.01 for
that command.
You can make much more complex tests that search for a file and choose
the first one that's readable. See this file for a more complex search
example. It searches for a language file based on the settings of
various environment variables:
