- - ### Method Detail

    - #### setIncludesAllowed

          T setIncludesAllowed(boolean f)

      Sets a flag whether include files are supported by the properties configuration object. If set to true, files listed by an include property are loaded automatically.
      Parameters:
        `f` - the value of the flag
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setLayout

          T setLayout(PropertiesConfigurationLayout layout)

      Sets the layout object for the properties configuration object. With this method a custom layout object can be set. If no layout is provided, the configuration will use a default layout.
      Parameters:
        `layout` - the `PropertiesConfigurationLayout` object to be used by the configuration
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setIOFactory

          T setIOFactory(PropertiesConfiguration.IOFactory factory)

      Sets the `IOFactory` to be used by the properties configuration object. With this method a custom factory for input and output streams can be set. This allows customizing the format of properties read or written by the configuration. If no `IOFactory` is provided, the configuration uses a default one.
      Parameters:
        `factory` - the `IOFactory` to be used by the configuration
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
