-Note that there can only be one `!include:` for each integration so chaining them isn't going to work. If that sounds like Greek, don't worry about it.
+Nesting `!include`s (having an `!include` within a file that is itself `!include`d) isn't going to work. You can, however, have multiple top-level `!include`s for a given integration, if you give a different label to each one:
+
+```yaml
+light:
+- platform: group
+  name: Bedside Lights
+  entities:
+    - light.left_bedside_light
+    - light.right_bedside_light
+
+# define more light groups in a separate file
+light groups: !include light-groups.yaml
+
+# define some light switch mappings in a different file
+light switches: !include light-switches.yaml
+```
+
+where `light-groups.yaml` might look like:
+
+```yaml
+- platform: group
+  name: Outside Lights
+  entities:
+    - light.porch_lights
+    - light.patio_lights
+ ```
+
+with `light-switches.yaml` containing:
+
+```yaml
+- platform: switch
+  name: Patio Lights
+  entity_id: switch.patio_lights
+  
+- platform: switch
+  name: Floor Lamp
+  entity_id: switch.floor_lamp_plug
+```
 
 Alright, so we've got the single integrations and the include statements in the base file, what goes in those extra files?
