I think the conclusion we've come to is let's not have inc files just for the sake of having them; if we need to add them to share common functionality we will, but as time goes on it may be appropriate to factor some of them out. (Having said that I think it would cause more harm than good to go on a huge spree and merge a load of them away, at least at this point.)
