Not at all -- but understand that the RepeatInterval feature fixes a
*region* for scheduling that is *tiled*.  If you go past the tiling
boundaries, Swarm complains.

What I usually do with this sort of thing is dynamic scheduling,
i.e. every repetitive behavior takes direct responsibility for
rescheduling itself.  I tend to use approach just because I like going
straight to particular places in the model source code to find out
things about agents.

OTOH, what was *intended* is to create a one-shot startup schedule
that creates and activates a subswarm with a schedule that has the
RepeatInterval and RelativeTime parameters set.  Unfortunately this
doesn't work in 1.4.1; it will in 2.0.
