Since

1. the behavior is different
2. the slapd.conf to cn=config conversion sucks in the relevant

information anyway and 3) use of includes is inappropriate under cn=config is it maybe time for the slap* tools stop creating cn=Includes?

The conversion creates them to document their existence. In fact after a conversion, when slapd starts up from a slapd.d, the cn=Include records are ignored.

Howard, I also think this is confusing. I'd propose to drop cn=Includes completely. There is no point to document their existence since, as you explained, the order is not preserved.
