THINK it makes sense to say that the derivation chain for PI ends at the
first product where the PI is not declared.

here's the problem with that interpretation: there's no "derivation chain". Your Sec. 15 doesn't say "i derived from Y, which said it derived from X", it just says "i derived from X and Y"--whether that's strictly true or not. Yet another reason for citing derivations more precisely.
