If you make double indentation instead of single while declaring Terrain CC won't report any errors or crash it just silently swallows all what's left after incorrect fragment. Example:
Code:
AddTerrain = SLTerrain
      PresetName = Attack05Terrain
      BitmapFile = ContentFile
         Path = UnmappedLands.rte/Scenes/Attack05Terrain.bmp
      WrapX = 0
      WrapY = 0
      ScrollRatio = Vector
         X = -1.0
         Y = -1.0
      BackgroundTexture = ContentFile
         Path = Base.rte/Scenes/Textures/DirtDark.bmp
      AddTerrainFrosting = TerrainFrosting
         TargetMaterial = Material
            CopyOf = Topsoil
         FrostingMaterial = Material
            CopyOf = Grass
         MinThickness = 5
         MaxThickness = 7
         InAirOnly = 1
      AddTerrainDebris = TerrainDebris
         CopyOf = Gold
      AddTerrainDebris = TerrainDebris
         CopyOf = Plants
      AddTerrainDebris = TerrainDebris
         CopyOf = Boulders

BlaBlaBla


Notice double indentation after AddTerrain = SLTerrain. In this code BlaBlaBla will never trigger any errors, and everything after this chunk will not be parsed. Debugged this for an hour so watch your steps guys! :)

Except that what you're hiding would have to be at the top for it to work.

It just moves onto the next module, actually, so you can have it inside a file for it to void the remaining files all the way up to the Index.ini.
Found this error when trying to make compilations; everyone puts indents by the first layer of IncludeFiles their Index.ini, which causes the error. It otherwise would never show up, so it's common practice anyway.
