Hm. By "including", do you mean "appearing in a %files section"? If
so, then yes, in the spec file the %files section for emacs-vm appears
above that for emacs-vm-el. But if this is what determines the file
mtimes, I think that's misguided (and undocumented afaik)  behaviour.

Perhaps so. Naively, what I would've expected to happen is that, for
any package and subpackages, all the file mtimes are set to be the
same.
