There is no direct way to reverse engineer a CSV file. However, you can
write a script that would parse the file and determine what each value
correspond to and accordingly create classes and other elements in the model
using REI.
For example, the following simple script would parse the line
"CLASS,A,PUBLIC".
Sub Main
s$ = "CLASS,A,PUBLIC"
i% = WordCount(s$)
MsgBox "'" & s$ & "' has " & i% & " words."
wordsList$ = "Words in this string:"
For j% = 1 To i%
wordsList$ = wordsList$ & crlf$ & Word$(s$,j%)
Next j
MsgBox wordsList$
End Sub
There is lot of information in the online help for writing REI scripts.
Some example scripts at http://www.rationalrose.com/scripts/index.htm
Hope that helps.
