The parser, for better or worse, imports all files at the end of the
current file; so what's happening is:
* cfagent.conf gets parsed, a list of imports is built
* generic.cf gets parsed, and a list of imports is built, including
generic_environment.cf, appended to the list
* ...
* aptconf.cf gets parsed
* ...
* generic_environment.cf gets parsed
Yeah, it's pretty weird, when everything else on the planet handles
include files in place. You could work around it by pushing everything
after generic.cf into another file, which would then have its imports
put after the generic imports.
