I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'dealing' is the first definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'deal')

'with' acts as a link.

'wall's' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'top' is the third definition.
(I have seen 'top of wall' mean 'coping' so perhaps 'top' could also mean 'coping')

'course' is the fourth definition.
(I've seen this before)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coping that I've seen before include "Managing - top course of masonry" , "Sloping top of a stone wall" , "sloping off course" , "wall feature" , "Capping along the top of a stone wall" .)
