Included syntax file and contained items.

Hello all,

A while ago I posted a question about Lua highlighting in a Vim file
being completely wrong after syntax files were updated. I had no answer,
but now I think I've found the source of the problem: in the Lua syntax
file, some regions which "contains" something have been changed to
"contains" TOP (i.e. not "contained") groups instead of precisely named
groups. On the other hand, the ":syntax include" command adds the
"contained" flag to all items declared in the included file, and so
there are no TOP elements anymore, and the containing regions contain
nothing.

This means that any syntax file which uses TOP for containment can't
be properly included in another one. Is there any workaround? (And isn't
it somewhat buggy behavior, or at least ill-designed?)

Best,
Paul
