independant of the question if such strategy makes sense at all:
 
wouldn't it be better to keep that logic inside the config file? As to have 
more than a single config section in there and simply switch between them by 
evaluating an environment variable? The default branch could point to one 
instance or an error (both makes sense). And one could still include different 
files from there if that design appears more modular. 
The advantage of keeing the switch inside the config file is that it reduces 
confusion about why suddenly the changes I made in the config file don't 
apply. It keeps configuration at a single place. 

Cust my 2 cents...
