Re: Multiple Functional Properties equivalent to Intersection?

The VERSION 1 contains cross-referential syntactic constructs:
    The axiom about the class GunLicense refer to properties(registeredGun and holder), and vice versa.
    
Is there any constraint on this kind issue in OWL Lite/DL?

Thanks!
