Never mind house, let's look at Airport, something which needs to be
co-typed with location a lot more than a house does.  And it also has an
address.

Ok, so the address property would be of type "address" (say) and that
would have a property that was of type "postal code".  In that case the
location in the postal code wouldn't interfere with the location in the
Airport?

I guess I was getting confused between "IS A" and "HAS A" relationships.
Airport "IS A" location, but it "HAS A" zip code.  So it doesn't matter
that zip code "IS A" location as well.

Sorry about the confusion, and I'll just shut up now.
