The only action you should have for any project is the very next action in context.

The only action you should have for any project is the very next action in context.

Nope, you must have at least one action and no action can depend on another but there is NOTHING in the GTD books that says only 1 next action. Depending on your projects many "next actions" can be done or are available simultaneously.

Also you can have a project with no next action. But if I have a next action I only have the very next action. I also don't have a list of all next actions for a project. I have a project list and contexts with the very next action in context.

David Allen is talking about not having all the “sequential actions” listed in a next action list. The “project “ in your example is very simple. I think Oogiem is talking about more complex projects where different actions can be done that are not dependent on each other and don’t have to be done in a specific order in relation to each other. And can also require different contexts for different parts of the project.
