Why do these tree items become inactive?

I have a part that has a loft in it. I am trying to update the loft guide curves to intersect with a new cross section that I added (Sketch 286) on Plane 53. When i go to update the guide curve sketches the profile sketch (286) and plane (53) that I added become inactive. I dont think they should be since they come before the loft.. I looked at the parent/children and they are not related at all.
