Another option instead of using Include is using Macro (so you can keep it all in one file).

First enable the macro module:

a2enmod macro

Then put your shared stuff in a macro and use it from your virtualhosts:

   ServerName example.com
   ServerAdmin example@example.com
   
      ...
   



  Use SharedStuff



  Use SharedStuff

  SSLEngine On
  SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
  ...

Macros can also take parameters, and be defined in other files that are included; so you can use them a bit like Functions, and save a lot of duplication across your Apache config files.
