Hi!

When you try to apply a component spec on the self element a exception will be thrown:

    self:
        component someSpec.gspec

Exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: objectContextLocator cannot be null

A possible workaround is to use @import for this special use case. Note that @import can also be used in combination with @if.
