It happens that I'm also looking for an answer to the original question, which this unfortunately does not address. In my case, I'm merging two syntax files, and the "included" syntax file (perl.vim) will only work if it's a "top" syntax, yet the "main" syntax file has some matches/keywords that conflict with the perl code (in particular, quoted expressions).

runtime! syntax/perl.vim
unlet b:current_syntax
runtime! syntax/calibre.vim

syntax region calibrePerl start='\[\[' end='\]\]' contains=@perlTop

Short of creating a whole slew of perl "containedin=calibrePerl" duplicate expressions after the calibre syntax load (to give them priority), is there any way to deactivate some/all of the calibre.vim syntax within the [[ and ]] delimiters?

I've tried everything I can think of, and everything just runs into some unfortunate side-effect.

Thanks,
