Yes, I did, but the concept of separate included config files appears to be new in 2.2. In 1.3 and 2.0, virtual hosts were declared in one config file, while in 2.2 it appears to be in several. Knowing that position in the file is important with some parameters, I asked the question. Furthermore, you reference DirectoryIndex which I had simply overlooked, but my question was in regards to the Options directive. >It doesn't matter in particular where you put it, other than that it >must apply to the appropriate <Directory>.

Ok, that answers it.
