Sounds like a circular include:

in extensions.conf:

  #include extensions.conf

The circle may include more than one file.

To trac this, enable debugging and debug logging. There is a debug 
comment for each included file.

Unless you really have such a complex nesting structure of include files
and want that constant changed. That it easy to do by a code change. I
don't really see a reason to make this configurable, until someone shows
me a case where this does not indicate a circular include.

Hmmm... so should the error message be changed to:

*WARNING: Maaximum include level exceeded : 10. Check for circular
includes.*

?
