Description Paul Harmon

compile the following testcase (note that the type ID is an annotation)


handler Parent type Entity
	id int {@ID};           
	orphan orphan;
end

handler orphan type Entity
	field1 id;
end


will produce a stacktrace:

I have fixed this and added code to prevent the use of an annotation as a type of a field outside of another annotation record definition
