Ensure that front page is displayed the way it was before the change

As admin go to Site administration>Front page settings

Change settings 'frontpage' and 'frontpageloggedin' to display everything

Add some posts to news forum on the front page

Make sure everything is displayed on frontpage as expected, for both logged in user and guest

Login as admin again, set "Include a topic section" to yes, add text and modules on frontpage

Edit config.php and set $CFG->customfrontpageinclude to some custom HTML page filepath (this should be path in filesystem, not url)

Make sure it is displayed on frontpage INSTEAD of frontpage summary and modules ABOVE the news and course listings

Description

It would be nice if a theme could override these settings
example:
the normal site level settings could be set to show site news on the homepage first and the list of courses a user is enrolled in is listed in a block on the page.

but - it would be good if the mymobile theme could set the frontpage to show the list of a users enrolled courses as the first item - so when users hitting the site with a mobile device get quick easy access to the courses they are in.
