In Chomsky's (1981) version of Binding Theory: a is accessible to i if and only if i is c-commanded by a and coindexing of a and i would not violate the i-within-i condition.

Also: condition on bound variable pronouns proposed in Higginbotham (1980) which accounts for weak crossover and strong crossover.
