How? Considering they may not have the foggiest notion that they exist.

Sorry, I don't agree.

How can you get past defining labels in assembler? You have to know how
to do this and recognise that by doing so you may create errors.

Sure, defining register labels is probably not the best way to go, but
from a learners perspective it probably makes a great deal of sense, and
much more so than trying to jump in at the deep end. Upon opening up the
two example ASM files supplied with MPLAB, a beginner would probably
look blankly wide eyed at it and start looking at basic code instead. I
also couldn't find anywhere in MPLAB that explains about the *.inc files
supplied with the package so how is a beginner supposed to know.

While I can't speak for the person, I would imagine that Amaury has
already learned that it's easy to make mistakes and there are other
methods available to help create source code.
