Botium partial convos are not actually sending conversations to chatbot

I am trying to follow the partial convo instructions here under splitting convos, but I am unable to get the partial convo to actually send messages to the chatbot. Are there additional configuration settings in botium.json that I need to adjust to enable this feature?

Consider the simple give_me_a_picture.convo.txt that is created with botium-cli init. If I create a pconvo.txt file example.pconvo.txt that looks like this:

PARTIAL_HELLO

#me
Hello, Bot!

#bot
You said: Hello, Bot!

and then I adjust give_me_a_picture.convo.txt to include the following:

give me picture

INCLUDE PARTIAL_HELLO

#me
give me a picture

#bot
Here is a picture

The above test will technically still pass. However, if I run this with --verbose you will see that it doesn't actually send the commands from PARTIAL_HELLO (ie. "Hello, Bot!") -- it just skips to saying give me a picture -- what adjustments do I have to make such that it actually goes through the partial conversation?

Here is the --verbose output at the start of the convo where you can see the first question is give me a picture

botium-PluginConnectorContainer Botium plugin botium-connector-echo loaded +0ms
  botium-connector-echo Validate called +0ms
  botium-connector-echo Build called +1ms
  botium-connector-echo Start called +0ms
  botium-cli-run running testcase give me picture +21ms
  botium-Convo give me picture/Line 5: user says {
  botium-Convo   "sender": "me",
  botium-Convo   "channel": null,
  botium-Convo   "messageText": "give me a picture",
  botium-Convo   "stepTag": "Line 5",
  botium-Convo   "not": false,
  botium-Convo   "asserters": [],
  botium-Convo   "logicHooks": [],
  botium-Convo   "userInputs": []
  botium-Convo } +0ms

I can also confirm that botium did find the partial convo and transcribed it succesfully:

botium-ScriptingProvider  undefined PARTIAL_HELLO ({ convoDir: 'sample/', filename: 'example.pconvo.txt' }): Line 3: #me - Hello, Bot! | Line 6: #bot - You said: Hello, Bot! +0ms

You are using the INCLUDE instruction in the header of the convo file, which is the wrong place - you have to use it within the actual conversation. To use the partial convo at the beginning of the convo, add it in the #begin section:

give me picture

#begin
INCLUDE PARTIAL_HELLO

#me
give me a picture

#bot
