Currently, the first TOC to appear in a page overrules any NOTOC as well as the implicit table of contents rendering above the first section.
When transcluding a number of pages, which may themselves contain such directives, it becomes useful for the parent page to be able to force layout details of the resulting text + transclusions.
For this purpose, a FORCENOTOC directive would be useful, which would lock the page into a NOTOC mode even if TOC directives appeared later in the page. A TOC placed at the top of the page could still lock the page into TOC mode, if desired.
