[Pmwiki-users] including page from different group

When a page from group A is included on a page from group B, the WikiWords
on the included page are parsed out in the context of the parent page. In
other words, if my page from group A has some text "this is a WikiWord" and
that page is included on a group B page, the link will be
pmwiki.php/B/KnightHood.

Is this by design? I can see it being a problem because someone might
include a page, not realize that the WikiWords are now pointing to
non-existant group A files, and someone else might come along and create
group A files which will then conflict with the group B files. I can easily
get around it by just making the text in the group B page read "this is a
B/WikiWord", but that's a nuance that's not immediately obvious to users,
particularly with casual or inexperienced users.

cheers,
