The way I look at DSE and ERE is that they are mutually exclusive ways
of defining data.  Since STP keeps a dictionary of all defined data, it
doesn't allow you to define the same data (same name) two different ways. 

I think that allowing both would cause a lot of problems like:
Which one would be correct?  When would you want to use one and when
would you want to use the other?  

These comments are brought to you by satisfied novice user.  What does
IDE have to say?
