lowered subsubsection confuses makeinfo

Hi,

I am testing @raisesections and lowersections. I found an issue with 
automatic node pointers generation and lowering of subsubsections.

Here is an excerpt of my .texi file (the whole is attached), a subsection
and a subsubsection are lowered:

@node Subsection
@subsection Subsection

@menu
* Subsubsection::
* Lowered subsec::
@end menu

@node Subsubsection
@subsubsection Subsubsection

@lowersections
@node Lowered subsec
@subsection Lowered subsec

@menu
* Lowered subsubsection::
@end menu

@node Lowered subsubsection
@subsubsection Lowered subsubsection
@raisesections


address@hidden sectionning]$ makeinfo lower_subsub.texi
./lower_subsub.texi:43: `Lowered subsubsection' has no Up field.
makeinfo: Removing output file `lower_subsub.info' due to errors; use --force to
 preserve.


I understand why makeinfo is confused: Lowered subsubsection was under
Lowered subsec, now it is at the same level. I don't know if it can 
be fixed, but if it isn't I think that a note in the texinfo manual
could be added.


While I was testing I also found that the following, from the manual isn't 
quite right, concerning inclusion of standalone Texinfo file:

    An address@hidden' command is useful if you wish to include text
  that is written as an outer or standalone Texinfo file in another
  Texinfo file as an inner, included file.

Indeed if the standalone Texinfo file has a 'Top' node, this will result in 
an error. On has to put the 'Top' node within an @ifclear or something 
similar to have it work.
