Yes, it's the latter case. The second template has absolutely no
knowledge of being include by the first.

The paths are resolved as relative paths against all the roots of the
template hierarchy. However, the resolution is constrainted to lie
*within* all those roots. So ../foo doesn't make sense unless you have
both "first/" and "first/second/" in the template hierarchy and
"first/foo" exists (since then it resolves as relative to first/second
and lands inside /first/ to find /first/foo).
People really shouldn't use paths like that, though. It's pretty
incomprehensible to others reading the templates.
