I think what he means is that the type 5 suffixes apply to the relative 
clause as a whole, not to noun phrases added to the relative clause.

For instance, you can say *bartIqDaq leghbogh vIghro' jIba'*/I sit on 
the branch that the cat sees./ The *-Daq* on the head noun turns the 
entire relative clause into a locative.

What mayqel seems to be asking is whether you could add another type 5 
to the other noun in the relative clause and also have that apply to the 
main clause. For instance, *bartIqDaq leghbogh vIghro'mo' jIba'.* I 
don't think this works, because it would make the relative clause, which 
is a noun phrase, have multiple syntactic roles, which is generally 
forbidden.
