Django - block tags in included templates don't work - Why?

This question is kinda similar to this one, except for one small change -

I have block tags in the parent.html, and some are filled in the calling template, some others in the included template. The included ones don't work. Eg:

#parent.html
<head>{% block head %}Parent head {% endblock %} </head>
<body> {% block body %} Parent body {% endblock %} 
</body>

#include.html

{%block body %} Child body {% endblock %}

#child.html
{% extends 'parent.html' %}

{% block head %}
Child head 
{% endblock %}

{% include 'include.html' %}

But this gives output : Child head Parent body

intsead of the desired :

Child head Child body

Any workarounds?

This : 

{% include 'include.html' %}

is not included in any block, and will not be rendered, as you see in response.

Modify your child.html in that way:

#child.html
{% extends 'parent.html' %}

{% block head %}
Child head 
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
    {% include 'include.html' %}
{% endblock %}

if you want to define some html in both child.html and in include.html, then you should have:

#child.html
{% extends 'parent.html' %}

....

{% block body %}
    {% include 'include.html' %}
    some child html...
{% endblock %}

and in include.html:

{% block body %}
    {{ block.super }}
    some include html...
{% endblock %}

This will render:

some child html
some include html
