Item 55 on the Wish List is for an "include" facility. I'm afraid I
haven't got there yet.
Making options such as qualify_domain expanded strings starts to beg
questions about the order of things getting set up. I guess something
like
qualify_domain = ${lookup {$primary_hostname} ...
primary_hostname = something
could be handled by specifying that the expansion happened after all the
options had been read. But it would still be necessary to specify when
it was done. I would not want to expand it every time qualify_domain was
used, for example. That would complicate the code and waste time in the
common case of a fixed string.

Noted.
