def initialized with alternatives (or) [message #987183]

I need to define a def: which depends on two different alternatives in or.
Precisely I am validating a DSL and I need to retrieve the type of a variable. This depends on the where the variable was defined. It may be for instance a parameter of a method, a property of a class, a local variable. Then I thought to create a def, typed as ocl::OclElement, in the context of the Variable meta-class initialized by these three different possibilities in or. Am I doing the right thing?

A better solution may be defining a set but It seems I am making some syntactical error.
I am doing something like

def: type: Set = {variable.<the first possible element>, variable.<the second possible element>}

or

def: type: Set{} = {variable.<the first possible element>, variable.<the second possible element>}

but in both the cases I get an error.

Also as the two elements of the set are mutually exclusive would this solution be feasible?

Hi

You don't explain your problem clearly enough for me to understand "in
or" is not English.

You don't identify what errors you give or provide sufficient context to
reproduce the error.

A zipped project demonstrating your best attempt is nearly always a good
way to avoid wasting my time (and yours).

the right form is

def: type: Set = Set{<first element>, <second element>}
