You need this syntax:
all: :include:/etc/twousers
From
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_22.html#IX1739

If an item is of the form
:include:<path name>
a list of further items is taken from the given file and included at
that point. Note: such a file can not be a filter file; it is just an
out-of-line addition to the list. The items in the included list are
separated by commas or newlines and are not subject to expansion. If
this is the first item in an alias list in an lsearch file, a colon
must be used to terminate the alias name. This example is incorrect:
list1 :include:/opt/lists/list1
It must be given as
list1: :include:/opt/lists/list1
