 RFC 1035 seems clear to me:  "Note that a $INCLUDE entry never changes the
 relative
 origin of the parent file, regardless of changes to the relative origin
 made within the included file."  I think that is a bug in nsd.

 We also had made this decision for the b10-loadzone. See its manual page:
 "The previous origin is restored after the file is included."

 See commit 31ec8c6c6598f614c77817a12d4642a5ec829c31 and test
 bin/loadzone/tests/correct/include.db and the known output:
 bin/loadzone/tests/correct/known.test.out

 (By the way, are the existing regressions tests being used to prove the
 new implementation does not regress?)
