dovecot - Sep 2011 - Sieve, before script - Can it include "personal" scripts?

Using sieve_before, can the script it references include a file from the
personal space?

I want to set some parameters (by user using the variables extension) there to
control what the before script does, so, every user would have the file in their
personal include space.

If not, is there another way?

Can the sieve_before and sieve_global_path be set from userdb extra fields?

Yes, that should work, however...

... there is usually no way to guarantee that the user will have this 
script in place and that it does not produce any compile/run-time 
errors. This way, the user can break Sieve processing in the 
sieve_before stage. The first part can be mended with the new :optional 
tag recently added to the include extension's specification (not 
implemented in Pigeonhole so far). Unfortunately, there is no way to 
resolve the second part.

Yes.
