Am I right to consider this a bug?
I don't think so - at least not a bug in Lilypond. It's just doing what
you told it to do, and most other language parsers that have an "include"
facility will similarly be unable to give a useful result when fed
infinitely recursive include files. The usual advice to users is not to
write such input.
And indeed, the different file name extensions make this example very
unlikely to happen.
It would be even better, I think, if Lily noticed the circular
dependency and aborted with an informative message instead of just
running on forever. However, that may not be very relevant/necessary to
have. So, a feature request, but not invalid, I’d say.
Best, Simon
