You have completely ignored "DIT content rule" in the quoted sentence.

This does not say anything about the use of auxiliary object classes within the same entry. Could you please come up with a concrete example to better explain your question. Ciao, Michael.

Are you talking about sets of possible attributes? See diagram of all schema elements: http://www.stroeder.com/img/LDAP_Schema_References.png Ciao, Michael.

According to RFC 4512
