Unless I am missing something, the fragment items[at0001] cannot appear
more than once /relative to any given archetype/. Here, it is relative
to 'a', i.e. openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.laboratory_test_analyte.v1. Within the
same archetype, you cannot have other items[xxx] such that the xxx are
not unique, even if there are multiple 'items' attributes down the
containment graph. From different archetypes you can, but there is no
difficulty for the AQL processor to disambiguate these.

Hello,
Is it allowed to use an element that is allowed to appear multiple
times within a path ?
For example in the query
SELECT a/items[at0001]/value
FROM EHR e
CONTAINS CLUSTER
a[openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.laboratory_test_analyte.v1]
the field items[at0001] may appear 0..* times. Thus the access to the
value field is not properly defined from a type checking point of view.
Does the AQL specification allow such constructs and how is this
situation interpreted ?
Greetings
Georg
