Warning

If Include folder view to inherit chain is used, be careful with name convention. The names of items in the referenced files can conflict if they have the same name. If used, a strong advise is to name the these inheritable items with a prefix, for example inherited_xyz to avoid conflicts and strange behaviours deeper down in the folder structure.wip
