It's a question of supporting definitions like that:

TYPE
  DynArrPtr = POINTER TO ARRAY OF DynArrPtr;
  ArrPtr = POINTER TO ARRAY 1 OF ArrPtr;

which is implemented by BlackBox.

The Oberon community believes that such cyclic type definitions are not something very useful or indispensable. So their support in Ofront+ should only be considered a step towards improving compatibility with BlackBox.

The examples that show different cases of defining such types:
