This seems to be based on a misunderstanding. Included files start out
with their own global section, same as the main config file.

It does not matter whether an Include directive is before or after a
VirtualHost, nor is the current VirtualHost inherited into Included
files, they need their own VirtualHost directive to change that context.

Hope this helps,
