A domain is just that.

The parameters for virtual_mailbox_domains and relay_domains are the same. They are simply in different classes. One should not contain the other. This is due to how Postfix will handle each class by default. Please do not confuse virtual_alias_maps as this transverses all Address Classes. Brian
