I think "self assembling" means delivering multiple

For an example, consider how Apache's httpd.conf file
is often
configured to include other files via a glob, eg
/etc/httpd/local/*.conf
Yes, this is how every software with configuration files should
function. Unfortunately, not all do; BIND DNS software is one such
example, where it allows "include" in certain places, but not
everywhere, so that it becomes necessary to inject per-network and
per-host entries into the .conf file(s).
Agreed.
But, how to achieve such a thing with IPS?
The escape clause in IPS is to install a one-shot SMF service that can
do whatever you want, like assemble a config file from multiple bits.
