Currently INCLUDE is used for including postgresql.conf.auto in postgresql.conf by default.
Can you please let me know what is the expectation?

Instead of INCLUDE,
1. include-if-exists can be used.
2. In code first read .auto file then .conf and override the values read from .auto by values from .conf.
