Two or three different types of links to a homepage wouldn't violate that rule because they are different interactive elements associated with the same functionality. That's exactly the reverse case of the criterion I'm describing: the _same_ element associated with _different_ functionality. An (extreme) example of a violation of this criterion would be two links called "Home", one going to the homepage of the current subsection of the website and one going to the homepage of the overall website. This would be hard to understand for most people, let alone people with a learning disability.
