FSVO "won't work".  You will get a lot of error messages about 
devices already started, ports already defined, etc., but (assuming
no typos) everything that can be Obeyfiled will be Obeyfiled - 
just as well as if those statements were moved to a different 
dataset.

Obeyfiling the entire profile definition is a messy but reasonable
technique.   (If nothing else, it syntax checks the whole profile - 
something you might want to do before the next time you restart
TCP/IP.

On the other hand, if you are Obeyfiling in something that may not
work, I would want those defs in their own file.   Scanning through
a flood of gratuitous error messages looking for some important
ones can be a real pain.

But all this is beside the point in this case.  As others have mentioned,
TCP/IP complained that it couldn't find the file.  It won't complain 
about the contents of the file until it can read it.
