Multiparty Session Types (MPST) are a well-established typing discipline for message-passing processes
interacting on sessions involving two or more participants. Session typing can ensure desirable
properties: absence of communication errors and deadlocks, and protocol conformance. However,
existing MPST works provide a subject reduction result that is arguably (and sometimes, surprisingly)
restrictive: it only holds for typing contexts with strong duality constraints on the interactions
between pairs of participants. Consequently, many “intuitively correct” examples cannot be typed
and/or cannot be proved type-safe. We illustrate some of these examples, and discuss the reason for
these limitations. Then, we present a novel MPST typing system that removes these restrictions.
