In programming, what's the difference between putting an include file in our project, linking a library to it, or using a dll. Don't all these things do the same thing by letting us use functions that are already written?

Header file simply contains declarations. It does not have any code or definitions per se (although many C/C++ noobs put them there).
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) IS a library. So DLLs are always libraries.
Libraries, on the other hand, are not always a DLL, because they can be linked statically (opposed to dynamically) with a linker.
