Determines, whether the two given access scopes first and second overlap. More precisely, whether two access contexts a and b exist which are not in a child–parent relationship and there are no operations between a and b and where a and b have exactly the access scope first or second respectively and a and b each contain a sequence of operations in a an b and after a and b exists a sequence of operations so that the result or a side effect of a method in a or b or after a and b depends substantially on the order of a and b. Additionally this method may be used to specify whether operations can be executed in parallel or not.
