That all seems strange to me.

I had - up to now - assumed:

  - include map 
 => syntactic thing 
 => it is all *the same map*
 => identifiers (even half-wildcards inside templates) belong
    to that same map

  - import map
 => semantic thing
 => two maps: importing and imported
 => each map on its own with their item identifiers
 => merging as usual

And that does not work?
