 wall, bearing column, or any other fixture serving fewer than 
 all units lies partially within and partially outside of the 
 boundaries of the unit or units served, any portion thereof 
 serving only that unit or units is a limited common element 
 allocated solely to that unit or units, and any portion thereof 
 serving any portion of the common elements is a part of the 
 common elements. 

    (e) Subject to subsection (d), all spaces, interior 
 partitions, and other fixtures and improvements within the

 partially outside the unit's boundaries, are limited common 
 elements allocated exclusively to that unit.
