Through XML parsing, osm.xml will dynamically include the > contents of the files in the inc directory. unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. what I'm trying to achieve is to include my own <Style> and <Layer> element in the osm.xml file. my hope was that if I create an inc/layer-foo.xml.inc file with my <Style> and <Layer> definition (just like the others there), and list my .xml.inc in inc/layers.xml.inc, than my stuff would be included, just as the others. but, it seems osm.xml already has the contents the 'stock' xml.inc files literally included. what I was looking for is a way to re-create osm.xml with the updated inc/layers.xml.inc, so that my stuff would be included too. this would be an elegant solution. now what I'm left with is to manually add my <Style> and <Layer> definition into osm.xml.
