I imagine you're referring to showing a class icon inside a package icon.
If you enlarge the package icon, you can then drop the class icon on that. The class will appear inside the package. In reality, though, this is only a pictorial convention. Rose does not derive any meaning from the fact that the class is on top of the package. You could drop classes from other packages on a package icon and Rose would neither complain nor assign those classes to the package. You still have to assign the class to the package through the conventional "Relocate" method. Of course, if you move the package afterwards or autosize it, the class will probably appear outside the package or maybe even bigger than the package! I believe there are some problems with exporting these diagrams to Web Publisher, too. The hyperlink to the class gets hidden by that of the package, apparently. In short, you can achieve the effect pictorially but you have to manage it manually from then on. I doubt whether it's worth the hassle, except in small models. A better method might be to use facade classes for packages and use those to show communication with a package. This makes a good design, too.
