--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Trying to specify a boundary face 4(8 9 11 10) on the face on cell 0 which is either an internal face or already belongs to some other patch. This is face 0 of patch 3 named middleLayer.

If I understand correctly the situation, this should be solved by changing the sequence of vertices from (22 19 219 222) to (222 219 19 22). If not, then it would help if you made a figure :-)
