[mrtg] (silly) include question

[Dez]

I asked the wrong question, as it seems. As far as MRTG is concerned, 
WorkDir is inherited in include files (that don't change the original 
WorkDir value). The proof is the rrd files being created in the correct 
directory.

My issue is routers2 related. I think that if routers2 doesn't find a 
WorkDir entry in a (included) cfg file, it expects to find the rrds in 
the "dbpath" . This is a bit off topic though :D

p.s.: thanks to all for replying

When I wrote the Routers2 parsing code, the MRTG parsing was not available in a separatelibrary and a lot of behaviour was undefined, so I made my own decisions... and then became saddled with the weight of backwards compatibility.
