When you use load_config_file, it inserts the contents of the loaded  
configuration file at the same level where the call was, so what you  
are doing ends up getting parsed something like this:

---
action: /foo
elements:
   - type: Text
   - elements:
      - type: Text
   - type: Submit

If /foo/file just contains the elements that you want inserted at  
that point, then you can take out the elements:, move everything else  
up a level and do it like this:

---
action: /foo
elements:
   - type: TExt
   - load_config_file: /foo/file
   - type: Submit

---
- type: Text
