So .ext is just an extension to the config file. For some reason I kept putting it in the conf.d/ dir and calling a .conf file. At least this is now working for me, thanks Timo.

Timo, thanks for the reply, the problem is that with dovecot 1.x the wiki recommends the connect string and password_query/user_query be in the sql.conf include file. According to wiki2 I should also be able to put these settings on the sql.conf include file but I get an error no matter what I put on there.
Do it like in the example-config. The file wasn't called sql.conf, it was called dovecot-sql.conf.ext. It's not supposed to be !included. That's why you get:
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql.conf line 1: Unknown setting: password_query
