Hi Raghunath,

Look fixedly at holy trees around summer houses (7) is a charade, not a c/c type [GAZE + BOS = GAZEBOS]. Here AROUND is only a connector. AROUND can be a container indicator otherwise, and is also listed above (2nd table).

Wrapping pasty is wise in a seaside place (7) - S{WAN}AGE
This can be parsed as "wise wraps pasty". WRAPS is there in the Container Indicators category (2nd table). I haven't put in all variants of the indicators in tense or number; these can be easily derived.

This list is only meant as a broad guide; it does not cover all c/c indicators possible. Take this clue for e.g.: Father entertains first girl with Elvis hit (5). "entertains" works as a container indicator in this clue but it's an atypical way of using this word, you won't find it listed as a regular c/c indicator.

Fire escape on BOARD ship (6) - FUNNEL
Hmmm...this clue has come in for flak everywhere. There was some discussion about it on the Colonel's blog yesterday. Check it out.

9 - Look fixedly at holy trees AROUND summer houses (7) -
GAZE{BOS}

AROUND does not fall under Content Indicators category

18 - WRAPPING pasty is wise in a seaside place (7) - S{WAN}AGE.

WRAPPING does fall under the category of Content Indicators.

11 - Fire escape on BOARD ship (6) - FUNNEL.

BOARD seems to be superflous, as it does not add maening to the clue?
