Pm did remark that a syntax like (:include Page1 Page2 Page3:) ought
to mean to include all these pages.

To get a similar effect as <!--wiki:Group.Page1 Group.Page2-->
where Page2 is only loaded if Page1 does not exist you can use
conditional markup (:if exist fullpagename:)

   (:include Group.Page1:)
   (:if !exist Group.Page1:)(:include Group.Page2:)(:ifend:)

Definition (in config.php):

   $Conditions['exists'] = "PageExists(\$condparm)";

(see http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ConditionalMarkupSamples)
