Inner relations for municipalities are indeed needed. One example of "inner" holes of cities within a city is Chicago, Illinois. Norridge and Harwood Heights are townships of Cook County, Illinois. They are completely surrounded by the city of Chicago but don't belong to one another. I believe many cities have this situation.
