<P>The <CODE>include</CODE> statement inserts the specified file at
the point that the <CODE>include</CODE> statement is encountered. It
cannot be used within another statement, though, so a line such as
<CODE>acl internal_hosts { "include internal_hosts.acl" }</CODE> is
not allowed.</P>
<P>Use <CODE>include</CODE> to break the configuration up into
easily-managed chunks. For example:</P>
<UL COMPACT>
<LI><CODE>include &quot;/etc/security/keys.bind&quot;;</CODE></LI>
<LI><CODE>include &quot;/etc/acls.bind&quot;;</CODE></LI>
</UL>
<P>could be used at the top of a BIND configuration file in order to
include any ACL or key information.</P>
<P>Be careful not to type
&quot;<CODE>#include</CODE>&quot;, like you would in a C
program, because &quot;<CODE>#</CODE>&quot; is used to start a
comment.</P>
