Description
There's no (easily discernible) way to include one's own Syntax rules in addition to the package's ('system') Syntax rules.
First thing, personal and package's Syntax are mutually exclusive: on Linux, either ~/.config/mc/mcedit/Syntax or /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax works, but not both.
Second thing, seems Syntax file cannot be included from another Syntax file. Trying to put into personal Syntax this...
file .\* refer to package's Syntax
include /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax
...effects in error on the first 'file' line in package's Syntax.
Can anything be done?

Well, I can't make you do anything, but that's not a duplicate of a feature request (3 years old, anyway). That's config files not working properly, detracting from product's user value.

Seems that include or source or import keyword help.
Another way - use /xxx.d/ directory and load files on name order (NN-xxxx patterns) see #1677. This look more promising.
But before do this it is necessary define read priority order or conflict resolution strategy (in documentation). See arguments in #3191.
