As far as I recall, going between abstraction to parent patch via inlet~/outlet~ introduces a block delay, hence no error
Dan, correction-- that is the exact circumstance where I *am* getting the
error. So now I think you are beginning to see why I think it's unexpected, especially because of additional potential delay of inlet~/outlet~.

As the error says, you shouldn't create a direct feedback loop with
signal cords.
Let me try to explain again:
*I have taken a WORKING CIRCUIT--* (a simple stereo delay circuit, with cris-cross L/R feedback implemented with [delwrite~] + [vd~])
*-- which DOES NOT produce a "DSP Loop Error", *
*pulled a Null (straight-wire) Filter *
*(which had been installed in the feedback path)* *and moved it externally to the abstraction* *(up to the parent patch), via outlet~/inlet~,*
*which, if anything ADDS additional block delays, *
*yet this produces "DSP Loop Error". *
*Clearly (the way I see it) *
*the logic behind detecting "DSP Loop Error" condition* *has a bug.*
*I believe this is a false error,* *because as I have stated--* *the circuit HAD been working!*
*All I did was add the potential for additional*
*blocks of delay on the feedback path. *
But you're using [r~] and [s~] which is not the same as direct signal
connections. The former can act like a short delay line. Please read "3.audio.examples/G05.execution.order".
Christof, Yes! Exactly! Added delay should REDUCE the chance of a "DSP Loop Detected"!
Also, believe me, r~/s~ has nothing to do with it. My original patch was extremely ugly, due to criss-crossed feedback. I only implemented with r~/s~ to clean up the patch to share.
Thanks everyone! BH

Third patch is like the second, only the effect has been moved out of the abstraction, and into the parent patch. ONLY HERE do I get the DSP loop error.
Signal loop in a single patch without abstractions = error. Pd has no way to read and write to the same signal buffer in the patch at the same time *without* some tiny delay.
*The point is the last two patches have (or should have) an identical graph! *
At the lower level, they don't. What happens if you put part of the path inside a subpath which uses inlet~/outlet~?

First abstraction, simple stereo delay: 2 delay lines, variable feedback L->R, R->L. This *works*, no DSP loop error.
Second abstraction contains an effect in the feedback path. (in my simple example, it's just a null wire: In-L passes to Out-L, etc). Again this *works*, no DSP error.
Third patch is like the second, only the effect has been moved out of the abstraction, and into the parent patch. ONLY HERE do I get the DSP loop error.

It really seems like a bug to me.
I'll upload a test patch a little later.
Thanks, BH
