The statement "there exists a function f(x) such that for all x,
P(x,f(x))" is logically equivalent to "for all x, there exists y such
that P(x,y)". 

There is, however, a difference between these two metalinguistic statements:

"There exists a function f(x) such that the speaker of the sentence is claiming that for all x, P(x, f(x))" and  "the speaker of the sentence is claiming that there exists a function f(x) such that for all x, P(x, f(x)".

CLL-lo uses the second interpretation when interpreting such sentences.
