Regarding the features module: I am working with a module which was created by features. I see a lot of .inc files in the module, but see very few actually included. Does this make any sense? I know that they are all being used and are creating fields etc.

  • Creating fields only needs to happen once, that would probably explain why you don't see the files included - they've already been included the one time they were needed

  • Oh, and how does features know about these files to include them once?

  • Looks like the work is done in features_include() and features_include_defaults(), at the root of it it seems to be a simple file naming convention

Most include files exported by features are included on-demand by the modules that define that type of component. For instance, example.views_default.inc is included by the views module when loading default views. This is a common pattern in Drupal, not something that is specific to Features.
