Autonumbering is being thrown off by numbered list

Question

Hi, all! As a FrameMaker newbie, I really appreciate everyone's help with my questions. I have another one for you that, like my other questions, probably has a simple answer.

I have created numbering for all of my heading styles, and it was working fine until one of my sections contained a numbered list. The numbering in that list seems to have thrown off the numbering in my headings. I've tweaked the paragraph styles, but with limited success. Here is a screenshot of what I've done, and I'm hoping the problem will be immediately obvious to those of you who understand this a little better than I do.

Thanks!

The FM default for autonumbers is no Series Label, which means that yes, autonumbers can step on each other.

You need to revise the various initial and follow-on paragraph formats to include Series Labels, such as, perhaps:
H:<n=1>.\t
H:<n+>.\t
for Headings, and
N:<n=1>.\t
N:<n+>.\t
for Numbered
