<p>When a guard is specified at the role level, i.e., directly before the
class body of a role class, it applies to all callin method bindings of
the role class:
</p>
<div class="listing plain"><pre><b>protected</b> <b>class</b> MyRole
<b>when</b> (value &gt; MyTeam.this.threshold)
{
<b>int</b> value;
<i>other <b>class</b> body declarations</i>
}</pre></div>
<p>The following values are within the scope of the predicate expression:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The role instance denoted by <code>this</code> (explicit or implicit, see above).
Thus, in the example <code>value</code> will be interpreted as a field of the enclosing role.
</li>
<li>The team instance denoted by a qualified this reference as in <code>MyTeam.this</code></li>
</ul>
