Subject: re: bug in including same file twice
There seems to be a bug in including the same config file more than once. Looks like the for the second include instance the configuration is not being expanded. Ex: # Main config file <USERS> <<include data.dat>> </USERS> <USERS2> <<include data.dat>> </USERS2> // config file data.dat ID1 = VALUE1 ID2 = VALUE2

This is turned off by purpose. Refer to the related section in the documentation: You can also recurively include files, so an included file may include another one and so on. Beware that you do not recursively load the same file, you will end with an errormessage like "too many open files in system!". That is, the module does this to avoid loops. So, you have to solve it another way, sorry.
