Hi,

This was an excellent reply that helped me a lot.

I'm still curious why the associations have to be owned by packages. It
seems to be a feature of Rose and not a very nice one.

Wouldn't it be much easier (for users, at least) that classes owns their
associations? In case of bi-directional association both classes would own a
copy of the association (isn't that the case also in implementation in any
OO language). For read-only units one-way associations would be no problem
but I guess bi-directional associations might have some problems if other
unit is read-only.
