I think the support for forward references follows from section 3.2 (Scoping of Names), especially from the combination of:

"Nested pipelines inherit the step types in scope for their parent."

and:

"
The step types that are in scope in a p:library are:
...
- Any step types declared in the library (the p:pipeline and p:declare-step children of the p:library element
...
"

Also look at the appending G.
