More "references" here:

That's it. It shows a separate 'back of' relative reference, which is not the same as the 'back' index reference. To ensure the latter before the word 'of', you have to put it in parenthesis; otherwise 'back of' - meaning the same as 'in back of' or 'after' - is assumed by the compiler. It looks like that syntax requires another item to be after or (in) 'back of'. It also looks like it must be one of those things like 'whose' that needs to be implemented by developers for application objects. I can't find a way to use it with AppleScript lists that doesn't error. It requires a 'className' as well as a 'reference'.
Does anyone know where to use 'after' or 'back of'? I just tried
tell application "Microsoft Entourage
contact after (me contact)
end tell
and that crashed Entourage.
