+##### Example extending multiple files
+
+In TypeScript 5.0 and later, `extends` can be set to an array of paths. Each entry is resolved using the same rules as the single-string form (relative path, Node.js-style package resolution, or a path into a package such as `@tsconfig/strictest/tsconfig.json`).

+`tsconfig2.json`:
+
+```json tsconfig
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "noImplicitAny": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`tsconfig.json`:
+
+```json tsconfig
+{
+  "extends": ["./tsconfig1.json", "./tsconfig2.json"],
+  "files": ["./index.ts"]
+}
+```
+
+The resulting configuration enables both `strictNullChecks` and `noImplicitAny`. If both base files set the same option, the value from `tsconfig2.json` wins because it appears later in the array.
