IMHO this is the only thing we actually know :-)

Lets say there are two objects, that are currently conflicting like 
FILES and split.

Current state is

FILES {
   #does the optionSplit for everything iniside the braces
   blah
   split {
     # would like to the split for everything inside it's braces as well
     # but the split has been done by FILES already
   }
   blubb
}

Everything inside FILES as got optionSplit, so blah, split and blubb and 
even the lines within the split braces will be modified by it. This will 
completely remove the optionSplit of split, since the value will be 
broken and not recognized by optionSplit anymore.

New state must be

FILES {
   #does the optionSplit for everything iniside the braces
   blah
   split {
     # does the split for everything inside it's braces as well
     # and split has been ignored by FILES before
     # because split opens another optionSplit section
   }
   blubb
}

Only blah and blubb are handled by the optionSplit of FILES, while the 
lines within split remain untouched. Now split can do it's own 
optionSplit and everything will be fine.

This problem can't be solved by the switch you proposed, since that 
switch would disable optionSplit for everything that belongs to the 
parent object, while actually the FILES optionSplit should just be 
removed from the second level, since this must be handled by the 
optionSplit of split.

So the optionSplit must not be prevented manually, but automatically 
each time you enter a next level, which has got optionSplit on its own.

Hope this clarifies it a bit, even though the multiple use of "split" 
might look confusing at the first glance ;-)

Cheers

Joey
