Don't ignore a duplicate host for an already processed include (#40361)

* Don't ignore a duplicate host for an already processed include, assume that the repetition indicates a new include. Fixes #40317

* Add intg tests to ensure duplicate items in loop are not deduped

* Add note about relative indexing
