Probably depends on codebase. LPC works outward from this_player(),
so you get the order: my immediate inventory layer, my environment's
immediate inventory layer. Items in containers must be referenced
explicitly, unless some genius rewrote the code to use
deep_inventory() instead of present(). I'd advise against that, due
to the utter confusion this can cause both in players and in
predictive behavior work.
