Tamayo is an F-part (0.6) — double layout Arabian. Named for the great Charlie Tamayo … who did not compete it often. I couldn’t find a routine on YouTube.
Everyone’s raving about Stacey Ervin’s at Winter Cup.

Kyle trained it into punch front 1/1, as well.
… On the other hand, that’s the skill where Kyle broke both legs and did ligament damage. At 2007 World Championships podium training. The landing is blind and dangerous.
As Jessica O’Beirne pointed out in the most recent episode of GymCastic, Winter Cup AA Champ Jake Dalton mounts with double layout half out, not Tamayo.

That’s a great trick too. But it’s only a D-part (0.4) — and it’s in the same box as double layout, so you can’t compete both elements in the same routine.
In these cases, it’s clear. But there are going to be variations where it’s very difficult to tell the difference.
If I was Steve Butcher, I’d propose both be valued as E-parts. Both be considered the same skill.
