I change the top-level grammar to my new one.

Now if I have \(X_{as}\) the subscript scope defined by the new  
grammar is shown correctly (same in other math construct), but not in  
$x_{as}$.

I have an include to text.tex.latex.

I have inserted in the new grammar the definition from  
string.other.math.tex, and then $X_{as}$ seems to recognised the  
subscript scope. However, as far as I have seen, it does not  
recognised in inside section headings.

Maybe I have not understood how include, but if I write a grammar  
where patterns contains only an include statement, don't I "create a  
copy" of the included grammar under a different name?

All the best
