I think so -- at least I don't think it'd classify as a bug. The text of
included pages are interpreted in the context of the current page.

where you can specify the context, e.g.:

	[[insert:UsefulGrop/SomePage pagename=SomeGroup/AnotherPage]]

Well, including other pages is a relatively advanced functionality.
