This would be hidden magic. Behaviour of applications should never depend 
on meta-data of config files. As a user I'd be rather surprised if I a  
swap of otherwise identical config files changed anything. Yes, there are 
exceptions to this rule. But this does not seem to be one of them.

Just don't make it position depended ;-)
