Can adopted motion later be declared Out of Order?

Parliamentary Procedure Q&A

Q: Can a President declare a motion adopted at one meeting "out of order" at a following meeting? The motion was definitely in conflict with a previously adopted motion. - Anon., Jan. 10, 2000

A: Yes. Normally, points of order must be made at the time the breach occurs. However, certain motions may be ruled Out of Order later if they constitute a breach of a continuing nature such as you describe. (See RONR p. 250-51.)
