Hi Ian and Susan,
There are several ways to get a unique result. One is to use "unique() or latest()" in a query. Even if you just iterate over the result, it will be guaranteed to be unique.

This is not consistent with what I saw.  I queried a composite repo for ALL IUs, and IUs were duplicated between child repos.  When I iterated over the result, I got duplicates.

Oops, my statement was ambigous. What I meant to say was:

When you iterate over a result that is obtained using unique() or latest(), the result will not contain duplicates.

Just iterating an arbitrary result might well give you duplicates.
