Let $\mathcal I_k$ be the class of convex $k$-intersection bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (in the sense of Koldobsky) and $\mathcal I_k^m$ be the class of convex origin-symmetric bodies all of whose $m$-dimensional central sections are $k$-intersection bodies. We show that 1) $\mathcal I_k^m\not\subset \mathcal I_k^{m+1}$, $k+3\le m<n$, and 2) $\mathcal I_l \not\subset \mathcal I_k$, $1\le k<l < n-3$.
