I am getting the following error message...
"The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a separate query that performs the first join and then include that query in your SQL statement."
HOW CAN I FIX THIS??? If i replace the "LEFT JOIN" with "INNER JOIN" the bug goes away but the desired operation is not accomplished.
Here is my code:

facility.location,
