The includeDictionary section is an array of files that allows one dictionary file to include another dictionary file. This enables you to organize your dictionaries and combine them into a single dictionary.

The records section allows you to add any record types that are not currently present in the WITS dictionary. Each record type (based on Rec integer) can only appear once in the entire dictionary file.
