An example of implementing relationships by association is when you have multiple values for an attribute called e.g. "diskMount" in an entry, and all objects of type "diskMount" in some other branch of the directory. Code the logic into your client to either 1) explicitly know the relative location under the base where objects of type diskMount are located, or 2) just search for them.
How nice for you, that in your application there is only one client that will ever query your directory and you control its design. Some are not so fortunate. Getting everyone in the world who designs LDAP clients to conform to my specifications for object relationships sounds impractical. Whether relationships should be maintained externally or internally would seem to depend on the nature of the problem being addressed.
