The reason to favor .include is that lots of other syntaxes use . for directives, and most people's instinctive interpretation of !

If you count the depth rather than the total number of files (that is, decrement when you finish each file), you don't need a large depth; a limit of 4-8 is ample and will still stop mistakes rapidly.
