But, the definition of the metamodel says that FamixType#container points to the namespace of the type. My suggestion: - define a FAMIXType#parentScope which delegates to FamixType#container - define a FAMIXMethod#parentScope which calls parentType parentScope in package FAMIX-Extensions. This way we get polymorphic behaviours between FamixMethod and FamixFunction. But, I must say I am not completely satisfied with that. Problem comes from FAMIXContainerEntity#types <-> FAMIXType#container There are multiple ways to interpret this relationship depending on the concrete subclass of FAMIXContainerEntity and I am not sure they are equivalent. FAMIXNamespace is the concrete subclass for the normal case. FAMIXPackage#types should not be used as there is a different relationship #childNamedEntities<->#parentPackage But having FamixClass or even FamixMethod with some local #types is possible with Java for example... The same thing for procedural language: one could have a struct locally declared in a function I guess. Well, not totally clear, an interesting topic to discuss. -- Simon
