Yes. The first message (I-->R) and second message (R-->I) are the special ones. Those can't be dropped. But if they do drop, then you just start over at the beginning. There's no complex state machine. No reply after timeout --> start protocol over.

Adding a third mandatory message would entirely ruin that and blow up a simple rule into a series of complex state machine rules. Rememer: the complexity of state machines rarely grows just linearly.
