The reason is that the abstraction 'reverb-echo.pd' is not in a location
where your pd goes looking for possible abstractions (search path, see File
> Path...), and is also not in the same directory as your own patch in which
you want it to be loaded.
Quick and easy solution: copy the file 'reverb-echo.pd' to the same
directory as where your own patch is located and then try again.
