Description
Clarify the cases in which you can include multiple levels of related entities using a single include statement.
In the Blogs example, instead of using `.ThenInclude` to include the Author's photo object you can go `Blogs.Include(blog => blog.Author.Photo);`.
Specify that this can only be used to navigate through non-collection properties, if that is indeed the case.
