I just want to point out that it will be more difficult to backport this change now that there is a specification change in `Security.getProperty` and `Security.setProperty` to throw IAE. It would have been nice to somehow treat the "include" property as a directive instead of a property, but I'm not sure if that can be done within the format of a properties file.
