Other Memory vs Ancestral Memory

Alia is pre-born and therefore was born with the same Other Memory as Jessica recieved from RM Ramallo. And being of the same parents as Muad'Dib, she should also have Ancestral Memories, just as he did. We know that she does have those memories, because her Grandfather Baron Harkonnen is among those who reside in her troubled mind. These memories--being those of her mother, grandmother, etc--would obviously allow her to figure out who Jessica's mother is. Essentially, the Ancestral Memories would override any shields placed on Other Memory by the BG.

In fact, Alia would not be able to know anything about Mohiam through Other Memory. The OM she has is that of RM Ramallo, who definately does not share the memories of Mohiam. Therefore, Alia can only share memories with her through Ancestral Memory.

Comments, anyone?
