I have this doubt why a .c file cannot be included any specific reason for that? There are no advantages with it?

There is much better reasons to use goto than to include .c files.
But, I have seen good code include .cpp files to work around compiler/OS support issues.
I myself include .c files for testing purposes; but, I am testing non C standard code using an gcc compiler to display warning and errors that are NOT caught by the production C-like compiler.

There are generally no advantages, and several disadvantages. In most cases, it is a much better idea to use header files.
