Two "To"s
Hello
I have problem with the structure of this sentence, I appreciate your guiding me regarding this:
It simply involves the generalization of the relationality of the mass concept to the components in the simple system of the impact of tensions to the structure and contents of the universe as a whole.
If I am right, the structure of that part of sentence (underlined) is "the generalization of the relationality of the mass concept to the components", but what about the second to?
Is it correct: the generalization of sth to sth [and] to sth?
Thank you.
