[logback-user] Collisions between primary and included configuration files

[Becker, Thomas]

One more question on this.  I'd like to be scan the included file for changes.  I tried enabling scanning on the main file, as well as adding a scan attribute to the <include> element but neither of those works.  Is this something you'd consider adding?  The scanning is a good feature, but doesn't help when the file is jarred up, which I'd assume is fairly common.

The last instruction wins. So, if the override file is included last in 
logback.xml, the instructions of the override file will win.
