I can't really work on this bug (no time and I am on linux) but here is some other infos. IIRC the planned design on _main.cfg is, when its presence is detected, to skip other files and directories. These files are then loaded by includes in the _main.cfg. So, not detecting the special status of

Indeed I support the basic idea of differentiate file and macro. As a coder, I also like the #include but as it was said you will lose power. It's possible. But it's also possible that file inclusions in mid-line are something we shouldn't be doing, or can be more cleanly handled in a
