This should be obvious, but I can't quite solve it!

If I use the following ocamlyacc script:

------------
%token BEFORE_KWD      AFTER_KWD
%token FAILS_KWD

%token       <int> WEEKDAY
%token    <string> NAME

%type <unit> top
%start top
%%

top:
  WEEKDAY AFTER_KWD NAME BEFORE_KWD NAME FAILS_KWD top {()}
| WEEKDAY relative NAME {()}
;

relative:
  BEFORE_KWD {()}
| AFTER_KWD {()}
;
------------

Then I get a shift/reduce having parsed WEEKDAY AFTER_KWD... the parser
can't figure out what to do if it sees NAME. This problem can be made to
disappear by expanding the relative rules to give:

top:
  WEEKDAY AFTER_KWD NAME BEFORE_KWD NAME FAILS_KWD top {()}
| WEEKDAY AFTER_KWD NAME {()}
| WEEKDAY BEFORE_KWD NAME {()}
;

I've tried a couple of tricks with %prec but can't get the parser to come
out the same way with the first rule... please could someone put me out of
my misery!!

Thanks,
