Dear all
sorry for the posting as I had not seen Arthur's response. I agree with

Many statisticians dislike looking at such effects and consider it is
more sensible to look at estimable contrasts such as D vs
average(A,B,C)

and hence my request for the example to see what the context was

warm regards
