I believe this translates "even when we are...". Does "incluso en que" usually call for the subjunctive tense?

Thanks!

Usually? We'd have to make a pointless statistical analysis to prove it. Those are just some words that happen to be together (even + in + that). Without a context (or at least the full sentence) it is impossible to tell:

Insistió incluso en que vinieron (indicative)

Insistió incluso en que vinieran (subjunctive)

The choice of mood does not depend on three consecutive words taken at random, but on the communicative intention of the speaker. Your approach will not help you understand the subjunctive, believe me.

"Incluso en que" has nothing to do with subjuntive.
