That seems to be the case: FrameMaker does not want to honor a context rule for
element B that is nested within a count ancestors rule for element A. Breaking
the required subrules out into new text format rules, and making sure that they
are in the correct sequence, now works.
I now have..

...which works as expected [small yippees]. However, I am still baffled as to
why the 'If context is: Title < Chapter' rule *also* works, nested as it is
within the 'count ancestors named Section' rule, as this breaks theory as
stated at the top of this mail. Maybe it's because it's outside of the
level-dependent 'elseif's?
Are there any known bugs in this area?
