<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
<PRE>
acl internal_hosts { include "internal_hosts.acl"; };
</PRE>
is not allowed.</P>
<P>Use <CODE>include</CODE> to break the configuration up into
easily-managed chunks.  For example:
<PRE>
include "/etc/security/keys.bind";
include "/etc/acls.bind";
</PRE>
<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
"<CODE>#include</CODE>", like you would in a C
program, because "<CODE>#</CODE>" is used to start a
comment.</P>
