Which XyMon config files support "include" directive?

In man documentation it is described only for hosts.cfg:
"include filename
 This tag is used to include another file into the hosts.cfg file at
run-time, allowing for a large hosts.cfg file to be split up into more
manageable pieces."

Some time ago it was mentioned that it also works for alerts.cfg  (but
this is not documented)
What about other files?

It would be nice to work for all XyMon config files. This would simplify
upgrade (I would just include referenced to custom configuration files).
For me it is most actual for:
* analysis.cfg
* client-local.cfg
We use the 'directory' keyword for hobbit-alerts, hobbitgraph and 
hobbitlaunch.  Very easy to add extra settings without changing the defaults.
