The difficult point is that conf_parse() is not re-entrant. You cannot
just call it again from itself each time you see an include directive. 

That probably means you need to have two passes. First pass looks for
include directives, builds a flat file and second pass actually parse
the file.

So we would have to add a new parser, for instance in files called 
preconf_lex.l preconf_yacc.y. It would build a flat config in a
temporary file and a chained list of included files to monitor. 

Next step is to modify the config reload code:
1) monitor the list of included files
2) If a change was detected, create a temporary file with mkstemp
3) Call preconf_parse() 
4) Call conf_parse()
