The anchors in Test.Stanchor are generated because they're not inside 
(:if false:)...(:ifend:), they don't come from (:include:).

When the anchors are inside (:if false:) block the anchor that's 
generated comes from (:include:). If this is normal, and the idea is to 
eliminate duplicates then why the end anchor is also not generated 
there? there's NO #end anchor in this case.
