In that case we have just discovered a bug; quote from documentation, section
2.2.8.2 ("Using INI Files"):

-------------
[...] You may nest INI files by simply putting the file name on a line by itself
with no equals sign after it. Nesting may occur up to ten levels deep. For
example:

  ; This is a sample INI file. This entire line is a comment.
  ; Blank lines are permitted.
  Input_File_Name=simple.pov ;This sets the input file name
  +W80 +H60 ; Traditional +/- switches are permitted too
  MOREOPT   ; Read MOREOPT.INI and continue with next line
  +V        ; Another switch
  ; That's all folks!
