The incluso is already a tool in the legal eagle’s box to aid construction — you don’t embark on a parenthesised explanation of what specific things you want to capture when enunciating a general one other than by way of aid to interpretation — so we should be disappointed, but not surprised, that assiduous draftspeople would like to separately tell us that when we say “including” the word bears its natural, everyday meaning, and not some other, limiting, contrary meaning to the phrase. Including is not the end of it, that is to say; just because I mention some examples of what this general thing is, that does not mean there are not other examples I would like to keep open.
