Hmmm, this is a problem I hadn't thought of, and there isn't a good
workaround.
The problem is that the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE commands take a comma-separated
list. So analog thinks that you asked for two INCLUDEs, the same as if you'd
said
USERINCLUDE sret1,pklove
or maybe a better analogy is
USERINCLUDE REGEXP:sret\d,pklove
I'm not really sure how to distinguish the two cases though. It's not been a
problem before I introduced regexps, because commas don't normally occur in
names.
