Well that's useful.  No sense integrating into the name services switch,
is there.

  Included Maps
     The contents of another map can be  included  within  a  map
     with an entry of the form

          +mapname

     If mapname begins with a slash then it is assumed to be  the
     pathname of a local file.  Otherwise the location of the map
     is determined by the  policy  of  the  name  service  switch
     according    to   the   entry   for   the   automounter   in
     /etc/nsswitch.conf, such as

          automount: files nis

     If the name service is files then the name is assumed to  be
     that of a local file in /etc.  If the key being searched for
     is not found in the included map, the search continues  with
     the next entry.

Ahhhh how useful that would be...
