My site is very small with a total of about 14 or so pages.  They are included in the sitemap file at level 0.  Within each page I have multiple links that will point to other level 0 pages.  In other words pages 2 and 1 are level 0.  Level 1 is below page 2 and it may contain an innerlink pointing to page 1.
None of the level 1 links are in the sitemap.  Does this make sense?  If so, any clarification as to what I am missing is appreciated.  Thanks.
