+### Multiple merge includes
+
+borgmatic has a limitation preventing multiple `<<` include merges per file or
+option value. This means you can do a single `<<` merge at the global level,
+another `<<` within each nested option value, etc. (This is a YAML
+limitation.) For instance:
+
+```yaml
+repositories:
+   - path: repo.borg
+
+# This won't work! You can't do multiple merges like this at the same level.
+<<: !include common1.yaml
+<<: !include common2.yaml
+```
+
+But read on for a way around this.
+
+<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 1.8.1</span> You can
+include and merge multiple configuration files all at once. For instance:
+
+```yaml
+repositories:
+   - path: repo.borg
+
+<<: !include [common1.yaml, common2.yaml, common3.yaml]
+```
+
+This merges in each included configuration file in turn, such that later files
+replace the options in earlier ones.
+
+Here's another way to do the same thing:
+
+```yaml
+repositories:
+   - path: repo.borg
+
+<<: !include
+    - common1.yaml
+    - common2.yaml
+    - common3.yaml
