Thank you for that. I decided to cheat in the end and reformat my
include to go from:

Var1=blah
Var2=meh
Var3=foo

To just defining them directly into arrays via comma separated lists.
Hopefully it wont be too difficult for the end users to add things to
the end of a list.

declare -a ARRAY=( foo,bar,meh,blah )

It's been a long while since I've had to write anything so I am very rusty.
