Not like this. "include" is a hard-coded behaviour, not a normal 
directive. It needs to be used like the Debian patch does, with 
"squid.conf" file being the pre-determined settings and users in control 
of the other stuff pulled in by 'include' from somewhere else.


OR, you just use the -f command line option to point at your custom 
config file when you run Squid "from terminal".


I wasn't going to bother asking for a fourth time, but since Anthony did 
"who are you trying to hide this from?" is still unanswered. Anyone who 
might see these settings in the config file can also find them by other 
means (ie looking at the machines open ports). So the lengths you are 
going to hide them is very weird.
