# Include Directive

> Reusing configuration fragments.

If you have common configuration blocks (like standard auth headers, or shared metrics extraction), you can break them out into separate files and include them using the `include` directive.

## Syntax

```nginx theme={null}
include "relative/or/absolute/path.conf";
```

### Rules

* Relative paths are resolved against the directory where the current file is located.
* **Max recursion depth**: `20`.
* **Cyclic imports**: Cycles are detected automatically. A cyclic include will fail the parser for that specific provider, preventing infinite loops.
