I'd explain it slightly differently. Behind the scenes, TiddlySpace maintains a recipe for each space. The recipe is (roughly) a list of spaces that should be included to make up the space. By default, the recipes for a newly created space just includes the system spaces that are needed to make TiddlySpace work.
When you include another space, two things happen: 1) The space is added to the recipe 2) Any spaces that it directly includes are also added to the recipe This way of working is slightly counter-intuitive, particularly for people who are used to thinking in terms of hierarchies. The expected behaviour for many people would be that space inclusion cascades: when I include space "A", I'll also get any spaces that "A" includes, and any spaces that they include. We decided to work with simpler, static recipes for several reasons: - To keep the design of TiddlyWeb simple until the need for more complexity could be proven - Because most users struggle to work effectively with hierarchies that are more than a couple of levels deep I think there's a case to be made that the current behaviour statically including included sub-spaces is a little confusing, as it can give a misleading impression of how inclusion works.
