It's good to know only if it's in fact true. The hiera_include() function
is simply a wrapper around Puppet's 'include' function that selects the
classes to include via an hiera() lookup. (Look for yourself if you don't
believe me:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/hiera_include.rb
.) Neither hiera_include() nor the underlying include() function
inherently interferes with classification via ENC (or node block).
With that said, I like hiera for node classification, and I think there's
much to be said for using only hiera for that purpose.
