I never would have considered an include causing a problem - good
thinking! My personal thoughts would be that it isn't intuitive to make
the precedence order first->lowest, last->highest. It seems more logical
for items at the beginning of a config file to have higher precedence.

As for ensuring that instructions in cherokee.conf can be overwritten,
there are two options I can think of (if highest-to-lowest precedence is
followed): (1) either included files are interpreted to always override
the settings in cherokee.conf, or (2) the files can be included at the
top of cherokee.conf.

Same here.
