Yes, I think this is correct. The best way to make sure is to look at the demo data, like the DemoOrderPeopleData.xml file and a few others have PartyRelationship data in them.

The PartyRelationship entity always confuses me, and some of the demo data makes it even more confusing. I see it going many ways. My understanding of it is:

"partyIdTo" in the role of "roleTypeIdTo" is a "partyRelationshipTypeId" of "partyIdFrom" in the role of "roleTypeIdFrom"

In the case where we have a group, say Company and a user "100" who is an employee:

"100" in the role of "EMPLOYEE" is a "EMPLOYMENT" of "Company" in the role of "ORGANIZATION_ROLE"

we could also say:

"100" in the role of "EMPLOYEE" is a "GROUP_ROLLUP" of "Company" in the role of "ORGANIZATION_ROLE"

What about a prospective contact association? Contact's ID is 200. I would say this:

"200" in the role of "PROSPECT" is a "CONTACT_REL" of "100" in the role of "_NA_"

In both of these cases, the MEMBER is the TO and the CONTAINER is the FROM.

Is this everyone else's understanding as well??
