I believe you're confusing two things here:

 * The exim runtime configuration file, which can have .include
   directives and so on.

 * The exim compile-time configuration file, which is what this patch
   is about. It just contains a series of "variable = value" pairs, and
   is completely distinct from the exim runtime configuration file.

Best regards,

Thomas
