seams not to be included in your patch, unless you change the line (or i'm
wrong):
if [ -f "$_modular_conf" ]; then
by
if [ -x "$_modular_conf" ]; then

i resolved that by making multiple files source the same conf file.

today my biggest problem is bad rc.d script
like apache22, postfix, clamd or haproxy who load_rc_config and after
overwrite extra_commands variable.
this prevent me to add extra commands from a /etc/rc.conf.d/$name file.
