E.g.:

pool1.conf:
ippool main_pool {
            range-start = 192.168.10.1
            range-stop = 192.168.10.254
            [ ... ]
    }
pool2.conf
    ippool secondary_pool {
            range-start = 192.168.11.1
            range-stop = 192.168.11.254
            [ ... ]
    }

According to the log file it doesn't look that way. So I assumed it wasn't the case.
Hence the question.

Being all-knowing as you are you also should've know I actually did rtfm.
Couldn't find anything useful and indeed tried a bunch of random things, thankyouverymuch.

Judging by the look of radiusd.conf and the examples there I wouldn't even guess needing multiple instances of ippool.
See example above. Both ip pools are configured in a single instance in a single module{} section.

What I wanted to accomplish was to simply split both ippool $name {} sections into a separate ippool-$name.conf file.

Yes I am.
It's in the log file I've included in my initial mail.
