It's probably cleaner to add a vim file in your "indent" directory
(python.vim, ruby.vim, etc.) and let filetype detection load it automatically.

That would imply you are re-writing the indent scripts.

This is typically where you would use the _after_ directories.

For windows:

vimfiles\after

Linux:

.vim/after

In my case, I didn't like the indent settings for PHP and XML, so I created:

after/indent/php.vim

after/indent/xml.vim

These both had 1 line in them:

    setlocal shiftwidth=2

That way, each time you set the filetype, after everything runs as usual, the after directory fires and allows me to automatically change the shiftwidth (for xml above) to 2, from whatever it was.

HTH,
