nginx uses exactly one -- the one named in the "-c" argument when run,
or else the compiled-in value.

That one file may use the "include" directive to read in other files,
if the administrator thinks that this is more useful to them.

And if you're not running the equivalent of "/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx",
then whatever startup sequence you are running might introduce its own
"-c" argument. That's up to the administrator, and not nginx.
