If people want to shoot themselves in the foot then you should let them, allowing
multiple includes allows a competent person to structure their files and avoid
duplication.

Detecting cycles is simple, just count the number of include tokens seen and error
out after an arbitrary number if the number is large enough then a legitimate
configuration will work but an include loop will error out quickly.
