A REFERENT written to this STREAM cannot be defined in an outer NESTED-REFERENTS scope.

Additional Information

For stream X

Explanation

When writing a stream that contains unresolved referents to another stream open with REFERENTS-ALLOWED, attention must be paid to the depths of the referent scopes where the source and the target streams are open. The depth of the referent scope where the source stream has been open must be greater or equal to the depth of the referent scope where the target stream has been open. This condition is imposed by the OmniMark language to ensure that no referents defined in an outer referent scope end up being resolved in an inner referent scope.
