a configuration file is a flat sequences of sections, you cannot do this

what you could do is have 2 files, and add a link from one to the other:


file1.ini:

   [AAA]
   extended = file2.ini

file2.ini:

   [BBB]
   a=1
   b=1

   [CCC]
   a=1
   b=2


then create a bit of logic on the top of ConfigParser to read back those 
values
