I guess that's sort of what I'm asking about. We know that in code we do include/require things recursively. But that's code, and markdown is documentation.

Interesting question. I guess that's sort of what I'm asking about.

My own markdown files use file inclusion, but do not need recursion.
Do anyone's?
