This explanation isn't immediately comprehensible to me--I guess I'll have
to read the man pages and some other documentation and then come back to
understand this.
Thanks anyway.

not quite.
referencing '#In' for the first time will cause the nth
ip stack to be created. subsequent references do not create
a copy.
it's also important to note that import doesn't operate on
devices directly (except in the degnerate case of
'#D' for some device D). import builds a new namespace
according to the recipie in /lib/namespace (cf. namepace(6))
on the importee. so /net references that namespace, not a device.
obviously '#t' still references a device on the importee.
