 process the lines of the included file as if they occurred inline where the
 inclusion appears.
 
+Relative names are allowed with &`.include`&, and are resolved
+relative to the directory of the including file. For security reasons
+this is not allowed with &`.include_if_exists`&. To avoid confusion, it
+is strongly recommended to use absolute names only.
