    <thetext>The manual introduces &apos;require&apos; and &apos;include&apos; without comparing them with &apos;inherit&apos;.

This email from Paul Eggleton elaborates a bit on the differences and could be a good starting point

    <thetext>Hi, 

Thanks for pointing out this issue.  I have done a bit of rewriting in the three sections for inherit, include, and require.  Please read through these three sections again and see if the changes have helped address the problem.

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#include-directive

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#require-inclusion

Thanks,
Scott</thetext>
