You're right. The only "inheritance" is that at instance creation
time "installation parameters" (daemon_directory, command_directory,
...) are copied into the initial main.cf files of new instances.
This is if instances are created via "postmulti -e create".
If one creates their main.cf files by hand, there is no "inheritance"
of any kind.
