Transclusion is not specific to outlines, but is the action of including a document inside another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion

In the context of an outline:
1- We say an item has multiple parents (because that’s how it is). It also makes it clear that it isn’t a “clone”, but the “same” item
2- All parents are equal except for one which is referred to the main parent and is used to show context (in outlines)
3- Parents are shown in the Properties pane as an inverted tree
Details here: https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=node/115

Regarding “true” transclusion (re: Wikipedia def.) IQ implements it with grids (and other UIs) where:
1- Items can be shown in multiple grids, and
2- Each grid is capable of showing a different list of items (sub-set of all items in the database)
