It is always a good practice to put your include statements at the bottom of your list and the excludes at the top of the file. Remember that exclude.dir is read first, regardless of where it is located in the file and trumps any include statement.
To answer your question, yes by having the Exclude "D:\USR1\Folder1\...\*.*" before your include, will cause TSM not to process your include.
