Thanks for your kind answer and simple explanation; I just needed that :) Regarding the errors in the archetypes (and possibly others as well) I think it would be nice to have this kind of "semantic/validity" check built into ADL parser or the tools. Currently both the Editor and the Workbench allow these type of errors. Also if you take a look at my previous questions 2 and 3, they are pointing out to some other aspects of ADL and archetype design. I would highly appreciate some guidance here though not urgent at the time.
