You're right. Complications keep cropping up...

{mi nitcu re tanxe} is still good, because having it doesn't preclude
needing it. You still need the one that is packed full.

If you need the second "opaquely", you could say {mi nitcu le nu
mi ponse lo remoi tanxe} = "I need to have a second box".

Or something.
