Interesting question! 

I have another example for a usefull usage: PXE Server with configuration for 
many clients. The clients configuration are different in some details, lets 
say the "default", but the rest is the same config. To avoid redundance by 
copying the default config file for every client (i.e. named by mac adress) 
it would be better to create a config file for one client:

	default linux
	include default.cfg

With this you can change the default config without touching the client 
config.
