>You could think of the mind as a container and the self to be the contents of mind / consciousness... Or... You could think of the self as one and the same thing as the contents of mind / consciousness... Or... You could think of the self as the interrelationship between the contents of mind / consciousness.

Sorry... That should have gone like this:
1) the self is a container in which the contents of consciousness resides.
2) the self could be just a collection or conjunction of the contents of consciousness (and nothing over and above them)
2) the self could be a function from the precise way in which the contents of consciousness combine (according to physical laws) to produce behaviour.

Though of course there are unconscious mental states / brain states involved there too...
