Research direction

Reproduce the issue with main.jinja.yml, shared.jinja.yml, part1.jinja.yml, and part2.jinja.yml using Jinjava 2.7.1, then trace how the include and extends directives are evaluated together. Done means evaluating main.jinja.yml retains both PART1 and PART2 in the output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Imagine the following template setup:
main.jinja.yml:

{% include 'part1.jinja.yml' %}
{% extends "shared.jinja.yml" %}

shared.jinja.yml:

---
{% include 'part2.jinja.yml' %}

part1.jinja.yml:

part: PART1

part2.jinja.yml:

part: PART2

Evaluating main.jinja.yml will result in an output file that looks like this:

---
part: PART2

Notice that PART1, which is included by the main template, is missing.

Jinjava version 2.7.1.
