    [options] is not intended to be used as a literal string, it means to use whatever options you want at that point, for example the line you have commented out usepackage[sort,compress]{natbib} which would use the sort and compress options

    include{Latex/Macros/MacroFile1} should be input (or better give the file a .sty extension and use usepackage{MacroFile1} you should not use include in the preamble.

    not strictly an error but the class file loads graphicx twice and the preamble loads it a third time (latex checks for this and only loads it once but..)

    To elaborate on what David said, put usepackage[square,numbers]{natbib} and remove the line setcitestyle{square,numbers}.

    [options] is not intended to be used as a literal string, it means to use whatever options you want at that point, for example the line you have commented out usepackage[sort,compress]{natbib} which would use the sort and compress options

    include{Latex/Macros/MacroFile1} should be input (or better give the file a .sty extension and use usepackage{MacroFile1} you should not use include in the preamble.

The line



usepackage[options]{natbib}


says that options is the literal name of an option for natbib package. As this is not defined to be an option in natbib, an error is thrown. In fact the string options means the possible options like square, numbers etc.



Hence if you want to pass options to the natbib package while loading itself, use



usepackage[square,numbers]{natbib}


then you won't need to use



% Change how references are included (see the natbib package).
setcitestyle{square,numbers}


On the other hand, you may also use



usepackage{natbib}     %% note the absence of options
% Change how references are included (see the natbib package).
setcitestyle{square,numbers}
