I used to think of patternsets as selectors as well.

The nested include is still a pattern rather than a
selector; a better comparison would have been

<fileset dir="">
  <filename name="foo" />
</fileset>

But when you start getting into Ant's filescanning
implementation you see that patterns have precedence
over selectors, which can have surprising results
under the right/wrong circumstances.
