5.37 INCLUDE (Include configuration file)

5.37.1 Function

An INCLUDE statement instructs the Hercules initialisation process to treat the contents of the file speci-
fied by filepath as if its contents had appeared in the configuration file at the point where the INCLUDE
statement appears.

The included file itself may contain yet another INCLUDE statement as long as the maximum nesting
depth of 8 is not exceeded.
