workgroups not recognized in virtual server conf files

Hi,
The documentation I've read indicates that I should be able to get Samba to
honor the value of the 'workgroup' variable as set from within an included
virtual server configuration file.
Given the configuration files below, if I comment out the
"workgroup = testwg"
line from the main configuration file (smb.conf), then a query of
the Samba server (with "smbclient -L test4 -U%") shows the server as being
in the WORKGROUP workgroup, rather than the TESTWG workgroup that I specify
in conf.test4. The server still responds, however, to the TEST4 netbios
name as specified in the included conf.test4 file.
The only thing I can see that might be amiss is the line
Can't find include file /etc/samba/conf.
When I run smbclient.
I would appreciate any pointers as to how I might get the workgroup setting
within the included file to be recognized.

(If anyone is wondering why I bother with the 'netbios alias' line for just
one netbios name, I tried this with three netbios aliases, expecting it to
Just Work. This is a simplified example. If we can get this to work, I'll
work my way back up ;-)
