start rsyslog with -o /path/to/new/file and post the config file it produces.
This is a fairly recent option and it outputs the config file as rsyslog sees it
(with original comments stripped out), so it makes it easier to see what rsyslog
is looking at to find the problem.

Subject: [rsyslog] getting error on IncludeConfig

# ls -la lin/03-main-queue.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dec 8 09:30 lin/03-main-queue.conf ->
../host/lin/main-queue.conf
where the file contains
# cat host/lin/main-queue.conf
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/global/includes/target-main.inc
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/lin/includes/queue-lin-size-small.inc
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/lin/includes/queue-lin-disk-1k-small.inc
)
and all configuration parts are accessible and formatted properly.
Change of host/lin/main-queue.conf to contain content of all the parts in
the file is an workaround for the issue.
What can be the root cause for this issue? Is there any limitation in
nesting of IncludeConfig?
Running Debian10 with rsyslog 8.1901.0-1.
