Hallo Adrian,

thanks for your reply.
You're right that it would be a nightmare and mess including files 
through several instances.
But it would be pretty handy to overide or extend if you use only one level.
Example:
ACME/Common.Client/Configuration/Settings.yaml
ACME:
   CommonClient1: &cc1
     SecondDb:
       host: 123.45.67.89
       port: 25637
       db: common
   CommonClient2: &cc2
     SecondDb:
       host: 123.45.67.90
       port: 25638
       db: common
...

ACME/Client.A/Configuration/Settings.yaml
ACME:
   ClientA:
     <<: *cc1
     SecondDb:
       db: client_a
ACME/Client.B/Configuration/Settings.yaml
ACME:
   ClientB:
     <<: *cc2
     SecondDb:
       db: client_b

Peter
