I see you have a zshrc.local; that's the same approach I use. Unfortunately not everything supports "includes" but many, many things do.

I suppose another alternative might be having a private ".local" repo as a submodule, and having a rake task to concatenate and install the shared & local files. It is a tricky problem.

My zshrc.local setup is rather poor and I need to find time to sort it out correctly - currently its effectively a clone of the standard grml setup (http://grml.org/zsh/).
