------------------------------------

             Summary: Unable to use previous catalog item in the same file if nested inside services
                 Key: BROOKLYN-261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-261
             Project: Brooklyn
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.9.1
            Reporter: John McCabe
            Priority: Minor


Attempting to add a catalog with multiple items where an item defined in the catalog is used by a later item nested inside {{services:}} currently fails:

bq. Could not resolve item 'built-from-test-entity'; 2 errors including: Transformer for Brooklyn OASIS CAMP interpreter gave an error creating this plan: Unable to match plan item: Service[name=<null>,description=<null>,serviceType=test-entity,characteristics=[],customAttributes={}]

{code:title=Not Working|xml}
brooklyn.catalog:
  version: 0.0.1
  items:
  - id: test-entity
    name: Test Entity
    item:
      services:
      - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.software.base.VanillaSoftwareProcess

  - id: built-from-test-entity
    name: Built From Test Entity
    item:
      services:
      - type: test-entity
{code}

*Note* that {{test-entity}} above must not already exist in the catalog or else the bom above would load.

Altering the {{built-from-test-entity}} to not use nested services allows the catalog bom to be added:
{code}
  - id: built-from-test-entity
    name: Built From Test Entity
    item:
      type: test-entity
{code}

But this does not help for cases where the nesting is necessary, for example:
{code}
  - id: built-from-test-entity
    name: Built From Test Entity
    item:
      services:
      - type: test-entity
      - type: another-entity
{code}
