Help with SQL error

Question

Hello all,
Im having great trouble figuring out why an error occurs when i run this statement with thepart in bold, which is commented out, replaces the number. I think it has to do with the scope of the query. Basically i want the query to be based on the main permit_id
SELECT perm.permit_id,(SELECT a.organisation_name
                    FROM
                         (SELECT cl.organisation_name
                         FROM ce_client cl, ce_permit_role cr
                         WHERE cl.client_id = cr.client_id
                         AND     cr.permit_id = 283361 --perm.permit_id
                         AND     cr.role_id IN (SELECT code_id
                                             FROM ce_code
                                             WHERE UPPER(description) = 'PRINCIPAL HOLDER'
                                                            OR     UPPER(description) = 'JOINT HOLDER'
                                   ) a
FROM ce_permit perm
WHERE perm.permit_id = 283361

Thanks for the quick reply guys. Yeh i knew it was scope jsut wasnt sure what to do. The way i fixed it for those interested is this. (sorry not sure how to do formating in this forum)
Instead of putting the query in the select statement i brought it into the from statement and joined the two together. I hope this works on my more complex version :S
SELECT perm.permit_id, a.organisation_name
FROM (SELECT cr.permit_id, cl.organisation_name
                              FROM ce_client cl, ce_permit_role cr
                                   WHERE cl.client_id = cr.client_id
                                   --AND       cr.permit_id = 283361
                                   AND     cr.role_id IN (SELECT code_id
                                                            FROM ce_code
                                                            WHERE UPPER(description) = 'PRINCIPAL HOLDER'
                                                            OR     UPPER(description) = 'JOINT HOLDER'
                                   ) a,
ce_permit perm
WHERE a.permit_id = perm.permit_id
AND     perm.permit_id = 283361
