Specifically, I have used an approach of separating out database
definitions into separate include files so that the main slapd.conf file
could have broader read permissions than the more sensitive parts that
include things like rootdn password hashes.  In a database specification I
may include separate security strenth factors than the global section
specifies.

Yes, if the include entries are totally ignored then this is moot.
