The UNIT is not limited to a single 'molecule'. For instance, consider the
following commands:
l = sequence {NALA CALA}
k = sequence {NGLY CGLY}
j = combine {l k}
l, k, and j are all units. The following bond cannot be done:
bond k.1.CA l.2.CA
in order to bond the carbon alpha of the first alanine of a dipeptide to the
carbon alpha of the first glycine of a different dipeptide. However, this
can be done with the command:
bond j.1.CA j.3.CA
because j is a UNIT that contains both dipeptides. This is an example to
show what is allowed, and is thoroughly ridiculous to actually employ, but
it illustrates this concept sufficiently in my opinion.

You must make sure that both are in the same unit (see my above example),
but this is quite possible.

Good luck!
