What exactly do you mean with "taken into account in the dependency resolution”?
Maybe a full example would help here.

It might be. Still trying to understand what you are saying and the full implications.
In particular I am wondering where a @ContainedIn without the matching @indexedEmbedded
makes sense. Custom bridges come to mind in this case. Are you using a custom class or
field bridge in this case? If not, I don’t understand what purpose the @ContainedIn would fulfil.
