Given the following piece of code, can anybody familiar with the ISO
standard tell me if it is legal or not:


Type
	T = real;
	R = Record
		T: integer;
		D: T;
	    end;

	B = Record
		T: integer;
		C: Record
			D: T;
		   end;
	     end;

In particular, is field D in record R of type T or is it an illegal definition?
Similarly for field D in record C. I am not interested in what a particular
implementation does, just what the standard says about it.

Thanks in advance...
