Hi Stef,
Yes, it is used just to specify the sequence of Associations as they appear in the code.

Hi Stef,
above/below refer to the order of relationships in code, not to source/target :).
I do not understand what is the iv that you refer to in Association. I guess it's above/below.
Yes and we do not understand its purpose? You mean that this is used for sequencing when a have multiple association?
If so, the real state of the relationships is actually in the subclass:
- Access: accessor -> variable
- Inheritance: subclass-> superclass
- Invocation: sender -> receiver
- Reference: from -> to

Hi doru
in association we (simon and me) have problems with above: and below: (which only works for inheritance) we suggest from: to: which would have the benefit that when we do not want to distinguish between access and reference give us the interface with want.
Access from a method to a structure Access accessor a method to a structure Reference from a method to a structure Inheritance from a class to its superclass
Then I do not understand why the instance variable is defined both in the class and its superclass either we have abstract methods in Association and no state in Association and attributes in subclasses.
or we have state in Association and method in subclass reuse this state (= no definition of other iv in subclasses)
To help debugging we prefer to have state in subclasses and abtsract superclass methods. Stef
