   527 Note that $X_1$ and $X_2$ can be identified with subsets of $X$, 
       
   528 but $X_1 \cap X_2$ might not be codimension 1, and indeed we might have $X_1 = X_2 = X$.
       
   529 We assume that there is a decomposition of $X$ into balls which is compatible with
       
   530 $X_1$ and $X_2$.
   526 Let $a\in \cC(X)$, and let $a_i$ denote the restriction of $a$ to $X_i\sub X$.
   531 Let $a\in \cC(X)$, and let $a_i$ denote the restriction of $a$ to $X_i\sub X$.
