syntax-highlighting

Hi, I am trying to highlight custom language in TextMate. However, the following definition does not highlight PHP insertions:

{   scopeName = 'source.serpent';
    fileTypes = ( 'serpent' );
    patterns = (
        {   begin = '<\?';
            end = '\?>';
            patterns = ( { include = 'source.php'; } );
        },
    );
}

What can be the reason?
