I'd venture to say that "include" ala SPF is specific NON-REQUIREMENT,
as it violates the requirement that the query operation provide a 
deterministic
number of queries for discovery/fetching.

I see very marginal benefit to that sort of indirection and a very
large cost in operational complexity and test cases.

Besides which, inheriting topology might be a common convenience that
justifies complexity in an IP based model, but inheriting policy seems
a much less likely and thus less compelling reason in a domain based
model.
