I am confused why you have group definitions inside a file that seems to describe a host.
Should the "hosts/" directory just be named "inventory" ? Anyway, yes, if you feed -i a path to a directory, it will load all inventory sources therein. It is however true there are some unmerged things that will address what happens when the individual inventory files have information overlap. svg worked on this and it's in queue after we smite some other various buglets.
