Hi Relaxation and all,

» Now, lets both wait and see, whether I got it right .

You did.
In simple terms: In – any – crossover period effects mean out if (and only if) the number of treatments in each period are equal because then they are affected to the same extent.
That’s one of the reasons why we design studies for balanced sequences. Due to dropouts sequences may be imbalanced, which biases the outcome. However,

• unless the degree of imbalancedness is extreme, the bias is negligible and
  
• theoretically it would be possible to exclude subjects in order to get balanced sequences. That would mean a loss in power and it is ethically questionable since available data is discarded. Never saw it in practice.
