Could you expand on this, please?
I'll try. It is much easier to work out what else goes together by using a relation, rather than the is_in tag. The is_in tag is a bad tag as we are dealing with geo data, so we already know what it is in, if all the boundaries are in the data. Relations are much better for linking related data. Imported in the right way, you can get two way relationships setup correctly.
