Are there weeds that imitate tomato plants?

When cleaning my grandparents cemetery plot, I came across some rich soil that developed from workers throwing scrap grass and other debris and used it to plant flowers and some tomatoes.

Now all my pots have what seem to be tomato plants growing in them and I only planted tomatoes in just one pot.
I wonder if what I think is a tomato plant in all these other pots could be some type of wild weed that mimics tomato plants.

Any ideas on my note?

I have never really seen any weeds that look exactly like a tomato, but I guess it's possible. Could also be that the workers threw some tomatoes from their lunch into the pile? Might post a pic, would be interesting to see.

Tomato seeds can survive composting.
