Well, as I think someone else pointed out, I wokuldn't call that a here
script.  sh spells it ".", csh spells it "source", but here script is
more often used for "<<" style input, input that's inline, which an
included file by definition is not.

Then there is definitely a use for including the same file more tha
once:
