If one rule says 'you can do X on any of the following squares: {list 
of squares}" and another rule says 'you can only do X on edge squares", 
I would interpret that to mean that you can do X on any of the squares 
in the first list that are also edge squares, NOT that the later clause 
supersedes the first
