depends on the constraint handler .. transformation does no follow the constraints, i.e. a constrained node in an multi-point constraint cannot be a retained node in another constraint (nor can it be a retained node).
if you question the output, EVEN IF YOU DON'T question the output, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK AT THE RESULTS.
