Spatial discretization has failed. Discretization supports only parabolic and elliptic equations.

I am trying to solve two coupled Heat equations. One is a pde while the other is an ODE.
Is that why I am getting the error?:
Error using pdepe (line 293)
Spatial discretization has failed.
Discretization supports only parabolic and
elliptic equations, with flux term
involving spatial derivative.

I have debugged the issue and found that the issue is due to the boundary conditions I defined. I would really appreciate any help or tips in the proper formulation/implementation.
