Thanks Mike. 5018 is close to my test. In 5018, the inner composite (TestComposite10) has the binding on the COMPOSITE reference. In my test, the inner composite has the binding on the COMPONENT reference, and the COMPOSITE reference promotes that reference without specifying any bindings (so it inherits the one from my component reference).
I think the end result should the same? The outer component reference should be able to override the binding in either case?
