Duplicate resource object in compound document #1202

Description

There's a bug here (unless I'm reading something wrong) and I can't find an open issue that describes this. Please forgive me if this is a duplicate.

Reproduction set-up

Making a compound document using include. It contains an Organization, which has_many :people, and Person belongs_to :organization (there are many other cases that would reproduce this, I think). I have an organization with ID 1, and some people belonging to that organization. The document would have an array of people in the included key.

The bug

The JSON API spec says:

A compound document MUST NOT include more than one resource object for each type and id pair.

The compound document consists of a document containing both data and included top-level keys. The data is just the Organization with ID 1, which has relationships which has people which has data, which is an array of Person objects with just type (==people) and id.

In the included top-level key, you have the Person entities related to the organization. But also, the Organization appears here. So you have two resource objects in the same compound document with the same type (organization) and ID (1). That's a bug, right?
