Hi again,
I have a little problem: I can do this:
rule elements {
from
e1 : MMa!Element,
e2 : MMA!Element (
e1.elements->includes(e2)
)
to etc.....
but not this
rule elements {
from
e2 : MMA!Element (
e1.elements->includes(e2)
),
e1 : MMa!Element
to etc.....
The file can't be compiled in the second case. It is also impossible to
add another condition on the second element. It says that the ',' is
not expected.
Is there a raison for that ?

As Marcos pointed out in the following post:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=429&gro up=eclipse.modeling.m2m#429
there should be only one guard, which comes after all the source elements.

You may add as many conditions using the Boolean "and" operator,
therefore it is not necessary to have a distinct guard per element ;-).
Moreover, in your case you use e1 and e2 in your condition. Therefore,
it does not even apply to e2 only, and it makes sense to write it after
having defined both e1 and e2.
