Au contraire, mon frere! Class1 may be useful in contexts 1, 2, 3 and 4;
class2 in contexts 3, 4, 5 and 6.  If I am writing client code in
context 1 or 2, why should I care a whit about Class2?  In context 5 or
6, why should I care about Class1?  Only in context 3 and 4 are both
needed together.  For more on this, see my FAQ, section [4]:

Said the irresistible force to the immovable object: "Inseparable, they

... uh, but not today. BlueMarble had a disk crash, won't be back up
until this evening.
