[sc34wg3] CTM: prefixes and include

Your note is correct. The "included" file is invisible for the file
which imports it. If file A includes file B, only the templates from
file B are are visible for file B, the rest (%prefixes etc.) is
invisible.

Good question, this might be underspecified in the current version. :(
?xxx in file A should merge with ?xxx in file B, but I am afraid that
they do not merge currently. yyy in file A merges with yyy in file B,
that should work, but I am not sure if it works with named wildcards.

I'll check that.

Best regards,
Lars
