It works either way. Anything inside "using terms from" gets the specified terminology
unless specified otherwise with another "tell" or "using terms from." An obscure but
documented feature of "using terms from" is that it can go entirely outside of a
handler, like this:

using terms from application "Finder"
property x: every folder of the desktop of application "Finder"
end
