Bagging loaf, some asparagus for those in the van (10)

I believe the answer is:

spearheads

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for those in the van' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bagging loaf some asparagus' is the wordplay.
'bagging' means one lot of letters goes inside another (bag can mean to obtain or contain).
'loaf' becomes 'head' (I've seen this in other clues).
'some asparagus' becomes 'spears' (I've seen this before).
'head' placed into 'spears' is 'SPEARHEADS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spearheads that I've seen before include "Leads" , "is in van" , "points of attack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
