To the best of my knowledge, familiars, blesses, items and statuses do *not*
count against you towards using either the S1 or S2 orders.  Familiars and
statuses are internally considered to be *items* - they're even all assigned
item ID numbers.  And there's nothing unfortunate about it - to do things
otherwise would just favor people who wait until training PC and TAC up to
high levels before getting their statuses, rather than getting statuses right
away (and statuses are supposed to be a *good* thing).
