Yes. You are right. You are quite confusing the "doctrine of merger". Please go through the provisions in your text book as to where the question of doctrine of merger applies. In case you are still not sure, ask your professor. He will surely help you out. As it is I can say, rather you are also realising, that you are confused about the whole doctrine itself. I do not know in which semester you are.
