One possible flaw with this system is that you could have propositional attitudes towards propositional attitudes, ad infinitum. So we should expect an infinite number of classes of affects (beliefs, desires, desires to desire, desires to desire to desire, etc.). I'd like to see the theory discuss whether we observe this; and if not, why not.
I asked Fyfe about this. The system handles a "desire that I have a desire that X" in exactly the same way that it handles any other desire.
