Description
What if I need to access a field `p` which is two levels up? Seems like `outer.outer.p` should access it, but I am getting an error.
```
p = "value one"
d1 {
p = "value two"
w = outer.p // OK
d2 {
x = p // OK
y = module.p // OK
z = outer.outer.p // Results in an error, but shouldn't this resolve to p which is "value one"?
}
}
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the nested d1/d2 example from the issue and trace how `outer` references are resolved. Investigate the name-resolution or scope-handling entry point, then verify that `outer.outer.p` resolves to the top-level `p` while the existing `outer.p`, `module.p`, and local lookups continue to work.
