tcdl,
resolveConstraints=1,
includingGateways=1,

includingRelations=1,
status=None,
raiseExceptions=1)
Processes a community description and distributes the knowledge to
the local managers.
The parameter includingRelations is for a 2 step application of
community descriptions. The first step write through a dummy community
with the required community id - no relations will be applied.
Afterwards, all the referencing objects are applied - this way, they
are able to back-reference the community. Finally, the community
description is applied again (the 2nd time) - but now properly with all
relations. Since all related objects should have been download and
applied, the shouldn't be any more problems with referencing.
