+ When an <acronym>SP-GiST</acronym> index is created with
+ <literal>INCLUDE</literal> columns, the values of those columns are also
+ stored in leaf tuples. The <literal>INCLUDE</literal> columns are of no
+ concern to the <acronym>SP-GiST</acronym> operator class, so they are
+ not discussed further here.

Inner tuples are more complex, since they are branching points in the
search tree. Each inner tuple contains a set of one or more
<firstterm>nodes</firstterm>, which represent groups of similar leaf values.
