what version of rsyslog are you running? there were some versions (5.x
IIRC) that included the files in reverse order.

In general, includes are great for adding outputs when there is no
dependency between the different snippets of code, but it opens up
potential bugs and a lot of headscratching when you have what happens in
one file depend on logic that's in a different file.

For a distro that's just wanting to let each application include a snippet
of config for their own logs, it makes a lot o sense, but you have hit the
case where you want this snippet to prevent any other config from
processing that log.
