I notice you've made some changes here (and I'm glad you're removing
the reference to depth-first search), but I find that the introductory
sentence is still a bit obscure. Who is required to consider units in
an ordered tree hierarchy, and what are the consequences of em doing
so?
I'm not sure that I see the problem. The clause is definitional, not
procedural. Would it help if "considered" were replaced with
"conceptually organized"?
