It's a very strange way Oracle chose to explain sequences.

Basically, it's referring to the outer section of a query that contains subqueries, as in:

select column1,

       column2,
       column3

from table1
where column1 in (select column4,
                         column5
                  from table2
                  where ........)

the query in the where section is an inner query and the main select (select column1, column2, etc) is the outer query.

Hope it helps.
