I was thinking about that statement earlier and then I rememberd an episode where a chagneling attempts to detonate an explosive within the Bajor systems sun.
The plan was to lure the Federation/Klingon fleet to DS9 and then blow up the solar system taking the fleets along with it.
Now heres the interesting part, the method of causing the explosion was for a Changeling posing as Bashir to fly a "borrowed" runabout within the suns corona and detonate, kiling him self in the process.
So, if the changeling in question was orderd to do that, then is that not one chageling harming another?
From what I gather from the changeling society there are no classes or ranks so they do as they please and give no orders to each other but still, How does one explian this kamikaze changeling?

I think since he was sacrificing himself and not causing physical pain to another changeling it does not go against their code of harming another changling.

The changeling that posed as Bashir must have volunteered, because if it was ordered by the other changeling's that would be in violation of "No changeling has harmed another." The founders had a mission to destroy the star system to win the war and sombody had to do it/try it.

The changelings seem to exist primarily in the Great Link. They seem to have little individual identity seeing themselves a merely a drop in the ocean of the Great Link. Therefore to harm another would be to harm themselves in a manner of speaking.
