 % What do you mean ? I thought include excluded everything else ?

These are the files that I found in my directory:

alternatives       cron.daily    groff        network  rc1.d  rcS.d
apt                cron.monthly  init.d       opt      rc2.d  security
bash_completion.d  cron.weekly   jed-init.d   pam.d    rc3.d  skel
calendar           default       ldap         ppp      rc4.d  ssh
chatscripts        dpkg          logrotate.d  rc.boot  rc5.d  ssl
cron.d             exim          modutils     rc0.d    rc6.d  terminfo


When I copied just /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny, inetd.conf

Here is the relevant part of the script:

    Split = ( : )
    Actionsequence = ( control copy )
    files = ( /etc/hosts.allow:/etc/hosts.deny:/etc/inetd.conf )

copy: 
   any::
      /etc    dest=/tmp/x
                  include=$(files)
                   mode=644
                   recurse=1
                   owner=root
                   group=root
                   type=checksum
