Deployment view doesn't show the Software System in scope

[gravis]

Question

I'm trying to get my head around the deployment view for a specified scope:

workspace {
    model {
        u = person "User"
        
        a = softwareSystem "A" {
            aa = container "AA" 
            ab = container "AB"
        }
        
        b = softwareSystem "B" {
            ba = container "BA"
        }

       u -> a
       a -> b
        
        development = deploymentEnvironment "Development" {
            deploymentNode "Developer Laptop" {
                softwareSystemInstance a
                softwareSystemInstance b
            }
        }   
    }

    views {
        deployment a development "a_dev" {
            include *
            autoLayout
        }
        
        deployment b development "b_dev" {
            include *
            autoLayout
        }
        
        theme default
    }  
}

This only results in 2 two views:

With more complex models, it seems all software systems are presented, except for the one in scope.
I'm sure to understand how this view works, could you please help with this?

Thanks

See https://github.com/structurizr/dsl/blob/master/docs/language-reference.md#deployment-view for a summary.

deployment a development "a_dev" {
    include *
    autoLayout
}

The above will include container instances within the software system a rather than the software system itself.

The above will include container instances within the software system a rather than the software system itself.

I had to read it twice (I'm new to Structurizr), but finally spotted the container instances. That's what got me here, I thought containers would be included instead. It feels a bit repetitive (and unnatural to me) to enumerate all the containers again here, but I understand the syntax now. Thank you!
