The reason is that include support was added _after_ 3.0.1. So you
either need a nightly snapshot, or just as I mentioned in the other
email on this list, you could give a spin to the new binary packages
that we released. Since I feel that the syslog-ng OSE codebase itself is
quite good shape, the only questionable part is the binary installers.

If those would be at least marginally usable to some in the field users,
I'd do the release to avoid having to keep the fixes/additions of 3.0.2
any longer.

Until then, you have to compile a daily snapshot to have the include
feature.
