Question: ability to include partial graph definitions? #101

Wondering how to best solve this...

I have a definition on how to display release lines (vertical lines depicting when we released an application). Obviously I want to define that only once, then include in all the graphs where applicable. However, I haven't found an easy way to do this. Does the community have any ideas?

Does the feature to include graphs from external templates do this for you?

:include_graphs: 
- "templates/release.line"

Including this inside the .graph file won't work (Syntax Error). Including it into the dash.yaml gives a Errno::ENOTDIR. If I rename the .line file to a .graph, i just get a seperate graph with release lines (and I would like to accomplish integrating these lines into the existing graphs themselves).

Any ideas?
