Not a diagram, but an example (assume only blockingItem is blocking).

aa.xml: 
  <ldml>
     <blockingItem>
        <aaa>Foo</aaa>
        <bbb>Bar</bbb>
     </blockingItem>
     <nonBlockingItem>
        <aaa>Baz</aaa>
        <bbb>Bat</bbb>
     </nonBlockingItem>
  </ldml>

aa_BB.xml:
  <ldml>
     <blockingItem>
        <ccc>Quux</ccc>
     </blockingItem>
     <nonBlockingItem>
        <ccc>Quux</ccc>
     </nonBlockingItem>
    </ldml>

Resolved aa_BB.xml:
  <ldml>
     <blockingItem>
        <!-- other aaa and bbb are blocked.   -->
        <ccc>Quux</ccc>
     </blockingItem>
     <nonBlockingItem>
        <aaa>Baz</aaa> <!-- inherited -->
        <bbb>Bat</bbb> <!-- inherited -->
        <ccc>Quux</ccc>
     </nonBlockingItem>
    </ldml>
