Actually.... whether you have a local.cf file or not is immaterial.
What matters is
1) content of the files,
2) order they're read

If there are no overlapping settings, it is quite OK to have any
number of .cf files... On the contrary, I'm sure you will have a
number of them;-).
As always, know your config and you'll be just fine.
