> My problem is understanding what exactly is the **links** object that **corresponds** to items in the **included** section - since that section is an array, I don’t see where that **links** object would even go.

Did you ever get an answer for this?  
Because I have the same issue understanding where exactly to put pagination links for included collections.

> Regarding pagination links, the specification says: Pagination links MUST appear in the links object that corresponds to a collection. To paginate the primary data, supply pagination links in the top-level links object. To paginate an included collection returned in a compound document, supply pagination links in the corresponding links object. But I´m confused about the included-collection part. What does “corresponding” refer to? Does it refer to the links object of the relationship object…

I know it´s more than seven years ago, but helpful answers are always appreciated 🙂
