It confused me, too. The term "containing Rexx program" does not mean
the
same thing to me as "any other file". I would not consider a file containing
only class definitions as a program, but just a collection of code to be used
by a program. Such a file could not be executed on its own, so is not a
program.
Seems to me the rule should be talking about definitions in _files_
external
to the program, since it appears to be file oriented, not scope oriented.
