I do not agree. First, this works the same way: <Files ~ "\.inc\..*$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> Second, which way are you differ PHP .inc files from HTML .inc files? Many programs can't too... IMHO it is very inconvenient. Third, I always write context-independent include files. Objections? Thank you.
