There is no such thing as a module-specific configuration file. In 
principle a single file could contain the configuration for all modules.

The configuration files are split per-module for convenience only, in 
order to be able to activate modules independently.

The configuration _directives_ are defined per-module (but actually 
nothing stops you from defining the same configuration directive in 
several modules).

Apache defines a directive called "Include". This directive allows for 
the splitting of the entire configuration into several files. But from 
apache's point of view there is no correspondence between the files into 
which the configuration is split and the modules that define the 
directives found in those files.
