Hi Yevgeniy,

I actually have 3 'Organization' tasks that I clock in -- all at
level 2.  These are in 3 different org files and are listed in my
org-agenda-files variable.

My current layout is like this:

,----[ todo.org ]
| #+FILETAGS: HOME
| ...
| * Miscellaneous                                                              
:misc:
| ** Organization
| ...
`----

,----[ org.org ]
| #+FILETAGS: ORG
| ...
| * Tuning                                                           :tuning:
| ** Organization
| ...
`----

,----[ norang.org ]
| #+FILETAGS: NORANG
| ...
| * Administration                                                    :admin:
| ** Organization
| ...
`----

I used to have a first level * Organization task when I was clocking in
by ID but that set up has changed.  It's possible I still have
references to the old layout in the document that needs to be
updated.

Sorry about the confusion.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve the documentation to
make this more clear?

Bernt
