Hello Eric I agree with your uses case diagram, if your intent really is to execute the Generate Sales Report every time Sell a Unit is executed. Mind you, if Sell a Unit contains a branch, say path A and path B, and your insertion point for Generate Sales Report is only in path A, you do NOT execute the included use case in scenario B. Actually you could as well paste the entire content of Generate Sell a Unit into Sell a Unit at the insertion point, and obtain the exact same result when execution the Sell a Unit.

Erik, Thanks, I enjoyed your reply. It looks to me as if you are agreeing in substance. I like the analogy between including a use case and including a source file(?) into another source file, although the notion of an insertion point does not seem analogous in both cases. If you consider any instance of including a use case, that instance is certain to use a scenario, not all possible scenarios of the included use case. I take it that you would accept my use case diagram: http://cs.senecac.on.ca/~etarking/deleteme.gif * Eric "Vinther,Erik Pilgaard EPV" wrote: > You can make an analogy to including one source fine into another.
