Yes

Ah, there's your confusion. Asterisk never leaves the [example]
context to go into the other contexts. It stays in the example
context. Asterisk just cut-n-pastes the two other contexts in.
Ordering is important here though! includes are processed in order;
everything else gets reordered by Asterisk.
