root at lucid:/etc/apache2# cat /etc/apache2/envvars
...
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
...

root at lucid:/etc/apache2# egrep -n "^User|^Group" apache2.conf
145:User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
146:Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}

root at lucid:/etc/apache2# grep -n ^Include apache2.conf
204:Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
205:Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
208:Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
211:Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf
233:Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/
236:Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

User is defined on line 145 and on line 236
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ dir is included.

Here is the conf for webrt. So it is included after User and Group are defined
