Help required with RESTRICT_REFERENCES

I have a question about PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES

I understood that the purity of a function within a package was defined by the use of PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES. Also, to assert a purity level one had to make sure that the function didn't violate this level, either directly ( UPDATE/assignment ) or indirectly by calling a function with a lower purity level. However, I have found that adding a function with a lower purity level to a package has affected purity level of other more pure functions in the package. This new function is not called by any of the existing functions.

Is this correct? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
