Can't wrap my head around routing - docs reference & Github issue inside

Hi,

So maybe I'm getting everything wrong, but I'm a little confused with routing. 

Let's say I want to separate the consumers dealing with messages coming from my domain root:

http://domain.com/

and my `/import/` route:

http://domain.com/import/

I have my routing as so:

fb_routing = [
 route("websocket.connect", consumers.connect_face),
 route("websocket.receive", consumers.get_face),
 route("websocket.disconnect", consumers.disconnect_face)
]


channel_routing = [
 include(fb_routing, path=r'^/import/'),
 route('websocket.connect', consumers.ws_connect),
 route('websocket.disconnect', consumers.ws_disconnect),
 route('websocket.receive', consumers.ws_receive),
]

I'm also separating the Javascript files for initiating the Reconnecting Websockets, in each file I set the path accordingly:

root.js:

var ws_scheme = window.location.protocol == "http:" ? "ws" : "wss";
var ws_path = ws_scheme + '://' + window.location.host + "/";
console.log("Connecting to " + ws_path);
var mysocket = new ReconnectingWebSocket(ws_path);

and import.js:

var ws_scheme = window.location.protocol == "http:" ? "ws" : "wss";
var ws_path = ws_scheme + '://' + window.location.host + "/import/";
console.log("Connecting to " + ws_path);
var mysocket = new ReconnectingWebSocket(ws_path);

How can I prevent my receive consumer for import (see: consumers.get_face in routing) from getting or even listening to messages on the root (whose receive consumer is consumers.ws_receive), and vice versa?

Right when I open the console, both messages are sent to both consumers. I guess I can parse the path from the messages, but that seems very laborious!

I'm referencing Andrew's answer to one Github issue here:

Ah, well that's because you don't have a path key in your message - the routing isn't magical, it just goes off of the contents of the message. websocket.connect and websocket.receive messages include a path key so they can be routed, whereas yours just has a message key.
Given you have made a separate channel especially for this, there's no need for the path routing unless you really want to distinguish it, in which case you should ensure a path is added to the message when it's sent onto the channel.

The confusing sentence to me here is "Given you have made a separate channel especially for this, there's no need for the path routing". Does that imply that there is a way for me to avoid customizing the Group name every time?
