Let $f$ map the unit disk onto a simply connected domain $G$. In this paper we consider decompositions of the form $\partial G = C_1\cup \cdots\cup C_m$, in particular the case where $C_j$ are continua and we investigate inclusions between the cluster sets $I(f, \zeta)$, $I^{\pm}(f,\zeta)$, $\Pi(f,\zeta)$ and the given sets $C_j$. In this context the concept of a indecomposable continuum appears in a natural way.

Keywords: Conformal maps, indecomposable continua, prime ends, separation by a continuum.

MSC 2000: 30C35.
