procmailrc ignores INCLUDERC?

I have been using a procmail recipe for some time. I successfully include numerous INCLUDERC files. However, since each of these include files have become rather large over time, I started to try to organize better.

So where procmailrc once just had:

INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/original-filters.rc

it now has:

INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/school-filters.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/test-filters.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/original-filters.rc

In most cases, I have no problem.

However, in some cases, they symptom is that procmailrc "ignores" some of these INCLUDERC entries. I'm sure it isn't, but that's the best way to describe my problem.

So, if the exact same match rules are in all three included files (the folder to put the message in is different), the last INCLUDERC is the one which matches.

For example, school-filter.rc has:

:0:
* ^From.dummy@yahoo.com
.School/

test-filter.rc has:

:0:
* ^From.dummy@yahoo.com
.TestFolder/

and original-filter.rc has

:0:
* ^From.dummy@yahoo.com
.Saved/

Verbose logging only shows that the incoming message isn't filtered and ends up in Inbox.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what to look at?

Thanks.

cufilter

CUFILTER(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      CUFILTER(1p)

NAME

       cufilter - Filter emails through Mail::CheckUser

SYNOPSIS

       Add the following lines to your ~/.procmailrc:

	 # Filter mail through Mail::CheckUser
	 :0f
	 | /usr/bin/cufilter

DESCRIPTION

       When email messages are filtered through this program using the procmail settings as outlined in the SYNOPSYS, the email address in the
       "From:" header is passed through Mail::CheckUser to ensure validity.  If there is a problem with the email address, the "Subject:" header
       is modified to show which email address failed along with the failure reason.  No messages are lost, but it provides an easy way for the
       mail client to organize, sort, or filter based on the subject tweaks.

EXAMPLES

       Lets say a spammer sends a message with the following headers:

	 From: god@heaven.org
	 To: you@host.com
	 Subject: Happy Pill

       Then the new headers might change to the following:

	 From: god@heaven.org
	 To: you@host.com
	 Subject: [CU!god@heaven.org!DNS failure: SERVFAIL] Happy Pill

       This makes it easy to filter for mail clients.

INSTALL

       This file can be installed into /usr/bin/cufilter and is intended to be utilized through the procmail functionality by adding the following
       lines to your ~/.procmailrc configuration.

	 # Filter mail through Mail::CheckUser
	 :0f
	 | /usr/bin/cufilter
