For a great explanation of the enclaves and exclaves described in the article, you might like to check out this youtube video: [VIDEO] The visual aids definitely help.
Until this past year, the India/Bangladesh border was similar - there was even a triple-deep enclave (india inside bangladesh inside india inside bangladesh... I think...). They just recently did a land swap to make the border more sane, and also easier on the inhabitants, who didn't have freedom of movement between the parts. [VIDEO]
The YouTube channel WonderWhy has a video ( [VIDEO] ) on complex international borders wrt enclaves and exclaves.
There's a fascinating YouTube series called "The Most Complex International Borders in the World" about enclaves and exclaves. [1] There are even some "counter-enclaves", e.g. a part of the Netherlands inside Belgium inside the Netherlands. [2] [1] [VIDEO] [2] [LINK]
