Abstract :
In building an object-oriented system, we can characterize an object´s dynamic nature by modeling its roles. But some modeling abstractions represent roles without addressing the relationships among them. The Cascade pattern, which represents layered and ordered whole-part relationships between objects, solves this problem. The author´s examples from a public transportation system demonstrate how important this precision can be
