When XML Spy tells you one thing and everyone else tells you the opposite,
most punters would lay their bets on the majority opinion being right:
though of course one can't quote chapter and verse without seeing your code.
redefines is defined to be pervasive. If you redefine X, then all references
to X, wherever they appear, are considered to refer to the new X. This means
that it's impossible to have two different redefinitions of the same X in
force at the same time, which is what you seem to be trying to achieve.
