This was partially intention. There is nothing worse than including
file into some unknown context and when the file returns, getting
different context. But in this seems to be solved in pretty clever way
and also tested in your current patch.

Thank you for having a look into that. I finally got to try that and it
seems to be working as expected (both regress tests and hand-checking).

Some thoughts/bugs:

 * if glob does not match any file, there should be at least
debug/verbose log about that. Certainly not fatal (as the bug title
proposes), but at least for debugging purposes. Something like this:

    verbose("%s: glob %s does not match any file", __func__, arg2);

 * in the last regress test, the include line is commented out, which
makes last tests pass regardless the included files:
