INCLUDE_DIR points to a directory with service configs. A service config is a normal config, just without support for the [options] section.

SEQUENCE_FILE points to a file that contains a sequence.
INCLUDE_DIR points to a directory with service configs.
A service config is a normal config file, just without support for the [options] section.
This allows for dynamic configuration of different services.
Why that's important?
A package may want to add optional knockd configuration without altering the default one.
An administrator can organize their config files.
A program can add new doors at runtime by placing them in the directory and trigger a reload.
For example:
If a package like ssh decided to add a knockd entry it can just drop a ssh.conf to /etc/knockd.conf.d (assuming include_dir in the main config is set to that).
Then trigger a post-install command that reloads knockd.
SEQUENCE_FILE can help with user-defined sequences that persist between updates or whatever.
