We assign two item identifiers to the topics of the included file,
otherwise we wouldn't have the possibility to merge the topics of the
included file with the ones of the master's file.

Example:

a.ctm:

    %include <b.ctm>
    topic-a.

    topic-b - "Name".

b.ctm:

    topic-b.


Result (IRIs abbreviated):

   ^<b.ctm#topic-b>
   ^<a.ctm#topic-b>;
   - "Name".

   ^<a.ctm#topic-a>.

If we wouldn't resolve "topic-b" from "b.ctm" against the master's
document IRI (a.ctm), "topic-b" from "b.ctm" and "a.ctm" would be
different and not merge.

Here the result we *do not* assign two item identifiers to topic-b:

   ^<b.ctm#topic-b>.

   ^<a.ctm#topic-b>
   - "Name".

   ^<a.ctm#topic-a>.

We get three topics, not two since the "topic-b" from "b.ctm" has
nothing in common with the "topic-b" from "a.ctm".


Best regards,
Lars
