Thanks very much Ernest. That works as a temporary workaround, allowing us to test out 7.1. Needless to say though, we do not want to release our software using patched releases of Jess that may behave strangely under certain conditions. Is there a plan for releasing an official update/point release that will address this backwards incompatibility?

Otherwise, Jess actually doesn't care. As a temporary measure, you can comment lines 1293 and 1294 in jess/ Jesp.java, and the restriction will simply disappear -- but the new syntax may behave strangely with templates defined this way.
