 <p>Specialization is <em>not transitive</em>. Indeed if <span class="name">specializationOf(e1,e2)</span> holds, then there is some common thing, say <span class="name">e1-2</span> they both refer to. Likewise, if <span class="name">specializationOf(e2,e3)</span> holds, then there is some common thing, say <span class="name">e2-3</span> they both refer to.
