Description
The reason why this query shows several entries for distinct test is that the uniqueness requirement refers to the combination of referring page and referred page. Note that a referring page might contain several references to the same page (which you wouldn´t want to see in the listing). DPL offers a variable named %PAGESEL% which shows the referring page. If we add that variable to the example we see why there are several occurencies of distinct test in the output:

If we set distinct=strict we will only get one result. Note that the value of %PAGESEL% in this case will be not useful.
