That default for reo_id is too fragile to consider using in any case.
You are making way too many assumptions about when defaults will be
evaluated relative to other actions (such as rule/trigger firings).
I'd suggest that you have no default for column reo_id, and instead
have a BEFORE INSERT trigger for lreo that (a) inserts a row into reo
and (b) sets new.reo_id to the inserted key (which you could get from
currval at that point).
