No, there aren’t. There is only one site enabled, and only one instance  
of includes/varnish.conf, in that site config.

Sorry, but there are no reasons to trust your words more than  
nginx code, at least till you provide full configuration to  
reproduce what you claim see.

Please try checking again (an easy test is to just comment out  
this particular “include” directive, while preserving  
proxy\_redirect line in the include file). If it doesn’t help,  
please provide full configuration.
