I think that's what "-T" does, no?

Look particularly for lines in the output that start with "# configuration file".


Or do you mean: essentially remove the "include" line and insert the
contents of the matching file(s), in place?

I think that nginx does not do that directly.

I think there is probably enough information in the "-T" output to allow
you to stitch it together yourself, if it is important.

I suspect that a good patch to add the facility to nginx directly would
be thoughtfully considered, if you think that others might use that
facility too.
