             Summary: Recursive containment navigation properties and Partner attribute
                 Key: ODATA-979
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-979
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA03
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.01_WD01


An entity cannot be referenced by more than one containment relationship, and cannot both belong to an entity set declared within the entity container and be referenced by a containment relationship. 

Current rules around recursive containment and partner navigation properties seem to be sufficient to achieve this goal. but may not be necessary, i.e. seem overly restrictive.

Look for either valid counter-example for current rules or proof of necessity of current rules.
