Imagine two amoeba-like shapes, one smaller than the other. Both are only
represented by their outlines. The smaller amoeba outline appears to have
been ingested by the larger amoeba outline, but its boundary does touch
that of its larger brethren.

I'm looking for an adjective to describe this condition that is similar to
concentric or conjoined, neither of which are 100% accurate in describing
this item. The best I've come up with to date is to describe the larger
amoeba as the "surrounding region" of the smaller amoeba.

Ideas?
