Welcome to MLO, Peter. You'll find that MLO is very flexible, so there are lots of ways to achieve almost anything you want. I've just posted a note about my outline structure in Joel's recent thread, here <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/Rmk8ibRNeXo>. I use GTD contexts (I was thinking of using them for flags, to assign one exclusive context for the next step on each task, but have ended up using the "Context" parameter for that. I can recommend taking the time to understand how to set up Advanced Filters, to get exactly the views you want.
At some point I'll post a couple of screenshots. Good luck with setting up your system.
