Making it possible to include more than one file would be relatively
simple as you say. The reason that only one include file is allowed
for a section is the configuration editing pages. If you edit and add
in a new item there is no way to specify which of the files that it
goes in. Remembering which file is which and allowing the user the
choice of which one to add the new entry to is the difficult part.

There is already a solution to automate changes to the configuration
file and it is distributed with the WWWOFFLE source code. If you look
in the contrib directory for the file config/wwwoffle-config.pl you
will find a perl script that acts as a pre-processor for WWWOFFLE
config files. You annotate the options that you want in certain
conditions and the script will enable or disable them for you.
