Sorry I said that wrong - didn't read carefully before sending. Here's 
try 2:

The Section counter, when incremented, resets the Subsection counter; 
Subsection when it is incremented resets the Subsubsection counter, etc. 
Subsection doesn't appear in your example so, while it is reset, it is 
never incremented and, therefore,  the chain is broken and Subsubsection 
isn't reset.
