No, desired order can't be achieved by adding digits.  While using 
globbed includes nginx loads them without any sorting, i.e. in 
order how filesystem returns them.

You happened to get correct order after your renames, but things 
may again go wild at any moment (most likely when you'll touch 
something in this directory).

Currently the only solution is to include dependent files 
explicitly.  Globs can be used *only* for completely independent 
files (e.g. containing definitions of different server{} blocks).
