assemble: print a warning on a forward reference in RESx

Browse source 
Print a warning on a forward reference in RESx.  This really should
have been a critical expression, and a forward reference should have
been an error, but it wasn't implemented that way and as such we can't
just randomly break people's code, even if it is dangerous.
