Flag:	SecretHouses
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Comma-separated list of strings. (Limited to: Houses)
Applicable to:	TechnoTypes: AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes
*Logic related to SecretHouses, as a whole or in part, is obsolete* in Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.**

Has no effect in-game, despite the fact that the flag is parsed and Yuri Clone has this flag set as SecretHouses=YuriCountry in unmodded Yuri's Revenge.

It is theorised that this flag was intended to restrict access to certain units obtained via a Tech Secret Lab to specific countries, but that the idea of restricting access to such units was eventually abandoned (possibly for reasons of development time rather than gameplay).
