Inclusion is not considered

The problem

Hey there,

As I have multiple ESP32/ESP8266 components with the same sensors, I want to use substitutions to avoid copy-paste-issues and just re-use my configuration.

Unfortunately, it's only working for me as long as the domain e.g. sensor is first used like in the configuration below: The BME680 sensor is loaded as the logs in the dashboard show but the DHT-22-configuration and the LDR-configuration is completely ignored. If I copy exact the same content of the sensor-yamls to the outpost.yaml instead of including it, everything works properly. The example below uses the esp32 (denky32) platform but this also occurs when using the esp8266 (d1_mini)

Do I have any issue in my inclusion/substitution process? What can I improve to not face this issue anymore?

Thanks and best regards, Dominik
