How to tell pathogen to ignore specific file in bundle?

[Calyo Pereonis Delphi]

I'm attempting to bundle up the group of scripts I've split my vim configuration into so I can execute pathogen#infect('~/.vim/rcfiles') and be able to load everything as well as my own help docs, templates, etc., but one of the files, vimrc.vim is the base config that contains the calls for pathogen to infect vim. I need to explicitly ignore this specific file to avoid recursion. I cannot discern how to do this from the extremely limited documentation that exists in the source comments. How can this be done?

Pathogen adds directories to 'runtimepath'. It doesn't operate on files at all. Recursion is impossible.
