Yes and no.  An associating entity does not have any INTENT attribute, but how 
it may be used is affected by INTENT(IN).

I do not see why.

There is nothing to fix.

8.1.3.3p2 means that the associate-name for an INTENT(IN) selector is not 
permitted to appear in a variable definition context.  This covers not just 
INTENT(IN) but also selectors that are not variables.
