samba - Jun 2005 - Samba 3.0.14a vs. 2.0.7, is "include =" recursive?

Hi,

I upgraded a mid-sized samba install (+-150 pc's) from Samba 2.0.7 to
3.0.14a last night.  It is acting as a PDC and the upgrade went smooth
except for one thing.

Under 2.0.7, it seems like the "include =" is recursive.. ie: in
included
files, you can include files.  This behavior seems to have changed in
3.0.14a.  Can someone confirm this?

My setup:

smb.conf
include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m

It should be recursive in 3.0.x as well, but at least one person
reported early on on the releases that it was not working.
I doubt this will get fixed any time soon since this is only
the second time it has come up in just under 2 years.

I  don't  have  an answer, but a question: what were the critical parts of
the  upgrade? Did you use smbpasswd or LDAP? Did you migrate the auth data
from one backend to another?

I  have  to  do  such  a migration in a couple of days, and I am trying to
double-check that I have planned everything right.
