Issue with creating compound path

[DogG0d]

I am trying to create a compound mask, but a cutout in my shape seems to get filled because it's seperated from the outlining. How should I fix this?

Select the compound path and open Window > Attributes. Set the Fill rule to Even-Odd and see if that helps.

Thank you very much, that worked!
