SAME AS ('02 Standard) Clause - and circulatiy

I was going to respond to Pete's question about circularity of reference with
the answer that this was explicitly prohibited. I can see that there was an
(elementary) attempt to do so, but I would be interested in the input of those
(like Roger and Karl) who have actually worked with it.

SR(3) of the SAME AS clause says,

"The description of data-name-1, including its subordinate data items, shall not
contain a SAME AS clause that references the subject of the entry or any group
item to which this entry is subordinate."

Clearly (to me) this was trying to avoid circular references, but I don't THINK
that it (or any other obvious to me place) prohibits (the impossible).

01 AAA Same as BBB.
01 BBB Same as CCC.
01 CCC Same as AAA.

Does anyone see where (how) this is prohibited? I certainly THOUGHT that we
dealt with it when developing the Standard, but I don't see where. I think that
SR(3) was supposed to have some sort of "directly or indirectly" in it - that
isn't there in the final text.
