man 5 interfaces provides the relevant bits: by default, the files
in interfaces.d are (textually) included in interfaces. So each
of those files can basically have a "snippet" of what you would
put in interfaces (to avoid losing sanity, whole stanzas seem
recommendable).
So if you have this in your /etc/network/interfaces somewhere:
...
## Bahn ICE
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid WIFIonICE
wireless-mode Auto
...
(it's actually my current setting, BTW :) you could swap that
out to some file under interfaces.d.
