Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with reference to a non ID element from an imported grammar.
I'm going to sum this up as possible.Let's say i have a first grammar:

Grammar A :

ExtendNoun :
'NOUN' name= NounName
;
NounName :
NAME +
;
terminal NAME:
'A' .. 'Z' (( '-' ) ?( 'A' .. 'Z'| '0' .. '9' ) ) *
| "'" -> "'"
;

Now I would like to reference in another grammar(B) the rule ExtendNoun from grammar A :

Grammar B (which import grammar A as Def) :

Noun :
ref=[atlasDef::ExtendNoun]
;

When doing this, the referenced element is allways null. If i get it right it should be something like :

Noun :
ref=[atlasDef::ExtendNoun|atlasDef::NounName]
;

But that is not working at all...
Does anyone see where the problem is and how i should fix it?

I appologize for my english that is not really good at all and hope you understand my problem Smile
