It looks quite complicated to implement, e.g. checking barriers and 
doing locking when you are already done that.

Now let's continue the example. What happens when the calling paths are:

    O1.P1 --> O3.P3 --> O2.Q

    O2.P2 --> O3.P3 --> O2.Q

Let Q1.P1 blocks Q2.P2 on a attempt to enter O3.P3:

    O1.P1 --> O3.P3

    O2.P2 --> blocked

Then O3.P3 calls O2.Q:

    O1.P1 --> O3.P3 --> O2.Q
                         |
    O2.P2 --> blocked    V

This will either re-enter O2 or deadlock.
