I'll jump in in support of an optional include capability for just this
purpose.

Any reason there shouldn't be a second 'optional_include' or
'cache_dir_include' directive?

I can't think of a simpler way to handle optional includes and mandatory
includes (which I also think is a good idea to avoid lots of emails here
on the list from folks who pay no attention to their logs). But maybe
you guys can.--
