Is the surface interpretation taking precedence over the axis interpretation for features of size with no modifiers in the positional callout?

In other words, a hole positional callout RFS, does it have two interpretations, surface versus axis. So, if the actual surface of the hole does not violate the inner boundary (MMC minus geometric tolerance) the part is considered good even the axis of the unrelated actual mating envelope is outside the positional tolerance zone.

Am I correct?



 
Copy-paste for everyone's convenience:

- ISO - no difference for position tolerance applied at RFS, but when applied at MMC or LMC ISO standards use only the surface interpretation.

Thank you again pmarc

 
According to ISO 1101 Position tolerances control points, axes, median faces and plane surfaces.

Could anybody provide a reference for ISO mentioning boundary?
