Is it possible to refer to the outer query from a subquery filter string?

Question

From the subquery filter I refer to the outer query this way:

type.maxZoneTests > this.fromZone

Query freeZoneSubquery = pm.newQuery(Zone.class, sb.toString());
freeZoneSubquery.setResult("ip.trim()");
outerQuery.addSubquery(freeZoneSubquery, "List reservedZones", null);

But when I execute the main query, I get the following errors:

javax.jdo.JDOUserException: Query has reference to member "fromZone" of class "com.mg.ipk.Zone" yet this doesnt exist!

I can workaround this only If I can perform a join but I know that JDO doesn't allow declaring imports, variables nor parameters for subqueries !

The JDO spec and DN docs define all of that well enough http://www.datanucleus.org/products/accessplatform_3_1/jdo/jdoql_subquery.html
