Sorry, by the way, to the OP for turning this into a theory geek-out. Another thing about jazz is that tends to happen...

The diatonic 7th chord a third above F#mM7 is Amaj7#5...In both harmonic minor and melodic minor (ascending ...or jazz minor).
Anyway, take away the F#and the notes left from your F#mM7, A-C#-E#, spell an A+. So, the first chord contains the second.
