Ah... now I see it.

#+INCLUDE: "../slidehead.org"
#+include: "../glossary.org"

#+include: "./01-contents.org"

The last heading in glossary.org is ":noexport:" -- then, the include for 
01-contents.org thinks that it should go underneath the last heading to be 
created in glossary.org. So, everything that was a top level heading in 
01-contents.org becomes a second-level heading, underneath a :noexport: 
tag.

So, that pretty much blows my file structure to smithereens.

I suppose it's actually debatable. But, I would have assumed that the last 
heading level in an included file would be "unwound" before including the 
next file. That is:

~~
#+include "something.org"
* Heading
#+include "something-else.org"
~~

... would denote everything in something-else.org by one level, while...

~~
#+include "something.org"

#+include "something-else.org"
~~

... would leave something-else.org's levels untouched, regardless of the 
headline levels in something.org.

Hm. It looks like my whole idea about structuring this project was badly 
conceived from the beginning :(  either that, or the include mechanism is 
not thoroughly thought-through.
