asterisk users - Jun 2007 - Asterisk config files and #include

Hi all,

I am using asterisk version 1.2.18.

I recently tried to change my asterisk configuration by using #include 
statements to include other config files in my extensions.conf and 
queues.conf files.

My queues.conf is in /etc/asterisk. It includes several files which are 
in /etc/asterisk/queues. Each of these files contains the config of 
individual queues.

Again each of the individual queue config files in /etc/asterisk/queues 
includes files which are in /etc/asterisk/queues/queue_members.

The problem is that when I reload this config I get the following error: -

*WARNING: Maaximum include level exceeded : 10*

Has anyone encoutered this before and does anyone know what it means ??

Any help will be deeply appreciated as I have been unable to find any 
documentation on this.

Thanks
-Deepak

Sounds like a circular include:

in extensions.conf:

  #include extensions.conf

The circle may include more than one file.

To trac this, enable debugging and debug logging. There is a debug 
comment for each included file.

Unless you really have such a complex nesting structure of include files
and want that constant changed. That it easy to do by a code change. I
don't really see a reason to make this configurable, until someone shows
me a case where this does not indicate a circular include.

Hmmm... so should the error message be changed to:

*WARNING: Maaximum include level exceeded : 10. Check for circular
includes.*

?

Ok. But Im sure I was using only 2 include levels i.e. a file included 
from a file included and that there was no circular nesting. Here is my 
scenario -

queues.conf

#include <sales-queue.conf>
#include <support-queue.conf>
.
.
.
#include <billing-queue.conf>

Then I have a file defaults.conf which contains some default options for 
queues and that file is being included in all the above 
xxxxx-queues.conf files.

Then I also have xxxxx-agents.conf files which are files containing 
queue members. These files are included in their respective 
xxxxx-queues.conf files.

The reason im doing this is because we have 30+ queues and 150+ agents.

I will try it out again and debug this in the future.

Thanks and Regards,
Deepak
