admin\includes\local\configure.php overide - does this still work?

Has v157 removed the ability to use the admin\includes\local\configure.php overide?

environment Dev: Zen Cart 157; Apache 2.4.46; PHP 7.3.21; MySQL 5.7.31; Windows 10

The expected load point may be a different location than previously accustomed with the inclusion of bootstrap for the admin, but that is loaded from: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...ap.php#L41-L49

Interesting.
created another pure vanilla 157 and whenever configure.php is placed into admin\includes\local the following is dumped to the screen

Code:

Notice: Constant HTTP_SERVER already defined in vanilla\admin\includes\configure.php on line 17 Call Stack: 0.0001 384056 1. 
{main}() vanilla\admin\index.php:0 0.0001 384792 2. 
require_once('vanilla\admin\includes\application_bootstrap.php') vanilla\admin\index.php:5 0.0005 396232 3. 
include('vanilla\admin\includes\configure.php') 
vanilla\admin\includes\application_bootstrap.php:57 0.0005 396232 4. 
define() vanilla\admin\includes\configure.php:17 
Notice: Constant HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER already defined in vanilla\admin\includes\configure.php on line 33 Call Stack: 0.0001 384056 1. {main}() vanilla\admin\index.php:0 0.0001 384792 2. require_once('vanilla\admin\includes\application_bootstrap.php') vanilla\admin\index.php:5 0.0005 396232 3.

It almost requires a conditional statement around the includes so if configure.php exists in includes\local\
it will not look for the other configure.php in \includes\

Thank you.

Just to clarify to other users having the same issue.
Using torvista's link

Code:

to github will show a change by lat9 to move the strict reporting section in admin\includes\application_bootstrap.php to before the includes for local configuration parameters.
This allows the local configure.php to be used in a test environment with normal caveats.
