When three adjacent enclosures with inferior partitions share an eruv, and the outer ones are wider than the middle (so the middle is fully breached into the outer ones), what are the carrying permissions?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that when the middle enclosure is narrower and fully open to the outer ones (which have protruding walls), all three may carry freely throughout, treating the outer ones as courtyards subordinate to the middle. A minority opinion limits the outer ones to two se'ah each.
