      Let's say I have multiple modules each with their own ivy.xml

      <ivy-module version="2.0">
      <info organisation="${organization.name}" module="$

      {interface.jar.prefix}

      "/>

      <configurations>
      <conf name="interface" description="dependencies for
      interface"/>
      <include file="path/to/included-configurations.xml"/>
      </configurations>

      <publications>
      <artifact name="${interface.jar.prefix}" type="jar"
      conf="interface" ext="jar"/>
      </publications>

      <dependencies>
      <dependency org="twc" name="mas-core" rev="${mas.version}"
      conf="interface->server"/>
      </dependencies>
      </ivy-module>

      and I want them all to share an inherited configuration found in a
      file: included-configurations.xml

      <configuration>
      <conf name="test"/>
      </configuration>

      <dependencies>
      <dependency name="testng" rev="5.7" conf="test"/>
      </dependencies>

      so in the inherited configurations file I'd also like to include a
      dependency that goes along with that configuration.

      Is something like this possible?

      No, this is not possible in Ivy, but you can use text or xml processing
      tools to recompose your Ivy file before asking Ivy to resolve the
      dependencies of your module.

      Alternatively, since what you ask is close to maven 2 parent mechanism, I
      think it could be a nice addition to Ivy feature set. So feel free to open
      an issue, and even provide a patch

      Thanks,

      Neil
