Yes! I was a 'victim' of that user error myself, while I was testing things :-[
A sloppy cut-and-paste job. I spent half an hour (!) tracking it down, ha.

This old method is certainly not an ideal way to report the presence of a user's
personal #includes. The special code block is 'one more thing' that has to be
added to a file. I probably have several hundred includes of different kinds
that I have written over the years, many written hastily (or even auto-generated
by POV-ray like mesh_2 files.)
