There seems to be some confusion surrounding this.

- home.php is used to display the main set of blog posts, wherever
they happen to be. The fallback for it is index.php.
- front-page.php is used to display the front page, regardless of
whether it's a static page or the blog posts page. The fallback for it
is also index.php, *unless* you have a static page as the front page,
in which case it will use page.php and then index.php.

In other words, home.php is always used for the main blog, never for a
Static Page on Front. Including a home.php is not an error, if you are
intending to only style the main blog area differently.
