If I define an alias, use it in any firewall rule directly and try to delete the alias - I get an error "Cannot delete alias. Currently in use by ."
But if I define other alias and use it inside other alias, I can delete it without any checking, even if it is in use.

In such case "IP" nested alias can be deleted without any error prompts, but if I delete nested "Ports" alias, after applying setting it leads to the error in the Notices: "Empty destination port alias 'name_of_alias' for rule ''"

I was unable to reproduce this on two different testing firewalls. Please provide additional information to reproduce.

I can reproduce it on 2.4.5/2.5
