Map inclusion (dNetHack)
Map inclusions are essentially special rooms that don't fit the template of typical rooms, usually by not occurring in room-and-corridor levels and/or not being bounded by walls. Inclusions may contain one or more of the existing special room types.
Map inclusions typically vary randomly in one or more respects, often size, placement, treasure, and/or types of special room present.
