--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
IMO the desirable semantics of Include in sshd_config are even more
subtle and fraught than those of ssh_config. For example, how should
the following behave:

Port 22
Include /etc/ssh/config_a
PasswordAuthentication no
Include /etc/ssh/config_b

Match user djm
Banner /etc/banner
Include /etc/ssh/config_c

---

If inclusion operates just by pasting text in, then config_a could
radically alter the following configuration if it includes a Match
directive.

Similarly, config_c's application conditional on the previous Match
succeeding?

I wish we had a brace-ful configuration language - it would make
resolving these way simpler :/
