You need to put it in the context of the example give. It could be:

     The token used MUST be a token that was received in a
     request using the same Request-Tag.

which means it can't be a token with a different Request-Tag, or it 
could be:

     The token used can be any token that was received in a
     request using the same Request-Tag.

which means that there might be different tokens that use the same 
Request-Tag, but you can use any of them.
