"include" means installation of the RPM called bind-chroot-9.2.2.P3-9.
Its content is:

/var/named/chroot/dev/null
/var/named/chroot/dev/random
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
/var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key
/var/named/chroot/var/named
/var/named/chroot/var/run/named
/var/named/chroot/var/tmp

No, the chroot environment path does not appear anywhere in the config
files for the chrooted bind! That should be logical. The chroot ==
changed root is for the application transparent. That is what you can
think of the inner meaning or purpose of chrooting. So in named.conf you
i.e. find as path:

options {
        directory "/var/named";
...
};

And that path is when you check it as root in your filesystem of course
/var/named/chroot/var/named.

Without bind-chroot package installed all paths are equal both for the
bind as on filesystem.
