you cannot refer to depth in the where because it is not
an attribute of the table in the FROM list.
it may be more obvious if we replace the subquery with a constant:
SELECT *, 999 as depth
FROM articles
WHERE (depth < 3)
however you should be able to do
SELECT * FROM
( SELECT *,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM articles a
WHERE a.lft < articles.lft
AND a.rgt > articles.rgt
) AS depth
FROM articles
) AS foo
WHERE (depth < 3)
ORDER BY lft
