I don't think it does recognize b, either.  It just fell over on p
before it had a chance to fall over on b.

I think you have to use WITH if you want to reference the same
subquery in multiple FROMs.

Another approach would be to add explicit conditions for there being
at least 1 school and 1 pharmacy within distance.  There can't be >1
unless there is >=1, but the join possibilities for >=1 (i.e. "where
exists" rather than "where (select count(*)...)>1" )  are much more
attractive than the ones for >1.

Cheers,

Jeff
