No, lts.conf currently doesn't support include statements.

You could put all your snippets in
/etc/ltsp/config.d/default
/etc/ltsp/config.d/tc1
/etc/ltsp/config.d/tc2
...

and create a "generate-lts-conf" script that conditionally merges the
ones you want each time into /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf.

Also note that LDM_USERNAME defaults to HOSTNAME, so in the examples you
pasted, you don't need it,
and that if LDM_PASSWORD is always "q", then you can put it under
[Default], even for machines that don't use autologin.
Finally, check the "LIKE" directive, in helps avoiding repetition.
