[And Rosta <arosta@uclan.ac.uk>]

Here's what I was thinking of, from Chapter 19.4:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To specify a topic which affects more than one sentence, wrap the sentencesin ``tu'e ... tu'u'' brackets and place the topic and the ``zo'u'' directly in front. This is the exception to the rule that a topic attaches directly to a sentence: 
4.9) loi jdini zo'u tu'e do ponse .inaja do djica [tu'u]
the-mass-of money : ( [if] you possess, then you want )
Money: if you have it, you want it.

----------------------------------------------

So I am confused.

Nope. The first examples in the book are all giving scope to sentence modals 
(9.9-.10), the remainder are with sentential connectives for various degrees 
of subordination (14.8, .15, .18) and with free senences (19.2)
