Answer 1

Since this is the first page in my search in google, I just wanted to post this.

Slauma's answer is fine. But it's recommended to use Load() instead of ToList() if you don't plan to actually use the list. So it would be:

    Context.Employees
        .Include(e => e.Person)
        .Include(e => e.Titles.Select(t => t.Title))
        .Load();

Answer 2

You can try this:

Context.Employees
    .Include(e => e.Person)
    .Include(e => e.Titles.Select(t => t.Title))
    .ToList();

Select can be applied to a collection and loads navigation properties of the next level in the object graph.
