+An associated type value was specified more than once.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0719
+#![feature(associated_type_bounds)]
+
+trait FooTrait {}
+trait BarTrait {}
+
+// error: associated type `Item` in trait `Iterator` is specified twice
+struct Foo<T: Iterator<Item: FooTrait, Item: BarTrait>> { f: T }
+```
+
+`Item` in trait `Iterator` cannot be specified multiple times for struct `Foo`.
+To fix this, create a new trait that is a combination of the desired traits and
+specify the associated type with the new trait.
+
+Corrected example:
+
+```
+#![feature(associated_type_bounds)]
+
+trait FooTrait {}
+trait BarTrait {}
+trait FooBarTrait: FooTrait + BarTrait {}
+
+struct Foo<T: Iterator<Item: FooBarTrait>> { f: T } // ok!
+```
+
+For more information about associated types, see [the book][bk-at]. For more
+information on associated type bounds, see [RFC 2289][rfc-2289].
