If I add the SPF-policy v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all to my domain, will the -all have some effect or will the ~all from _spf.google.com get "inherited" to my domain?

In short, include will normally just result in a match (if pass) or otherwise a non-match for negative results (or possibly an error in error conditions). The specific action, beyond pass / non-pass, in the included record is irrelevant.
From the include section of the SPF spec:
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| A recursive check_host() result | Causes the "include" mechanism |
| of: | to: |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| pass | match |
| | |
| fail | not match |
| | |
| softfail | not match |
| | |
| neutral | not match |
| | |
| temperror | return temperror |
| | |
| permerror | return permerror |
| | |
| none | return permerror |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------+
