Continuing from my previous post, we even have an especially data-compact 
(efficient) way of representing that:  the member of the forest relation which 
is an inholding (tagged with role inner) IS the polygon of, say, a private 
residence "inside of" the forest.

For example (I'm making this up), say we have a national forest with a small 
shopping area (for food, supplies...) near its center for convenience.  I could 
see one polygon (tagged landuse=retail, name=ABC Forest Shopping Center) both 
BEING exactly that, AND being included in the (enclosing) forest multipolygon 
as a member tagged "inner."  VoilĂ , double-duty and done.
