Not as you want it to.

Be aware that the parameter "bind interfaces" is a global one, which
means that it sets the interface for ALL shares you define.

Including other files does NOT change that.

If you want to use 4 NICs and their bandwidth, look for the topic
"bonding NICs". Then bind your smb-traffic to the created
bond-interface (via "bind interfaces") and enjoy the performance.
