I have an ordered "set" of numbers, represented by a vector, say
  > X <- c(10:13, 17,18)
  > X
  [1] 10 11 12 13 17 18
then I have a "sub-set" of X, say
  > Y <- c(11,12,17,18)
Is there a simple way in R to have a logical vector (parallel to X) indicating 
what elements of X are in Y, i.e.,
  > Inclusion
  [1] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE
I'm trying to avoid looping over both vectors to produce the tests. Do you have 
any comments on this?
Thanks,
--Sergio.
