I seem to remember that we dealt with these questions as part of issues 169 [1] and 170 [2]. Issue 170 addresses the issue of header blocks referencing each other and Jacek's email [3] which 169 is drawn from talks about cross references between multiple graphs (in particular between header blocks and body). My impression is that we do allow multiple encodings (there is of course no hard requirement that an encoding is based on a graph model) in a single SOAP message and that it is not to be considered part of a single graph.
