Comment:
It is the second lo that would be resumptive of the subjectival relative clause, but only if the whole were taken as a single sentence. Perhaps one could also argue that the first clause is a sentence by itself, the objectival relative clause being the subjectival argument for the TOP, as in 'It's the man I want to marry. He's come!'
