No. Likewise use A.B.C; should imply with [,] [.]A, [.]A.B, [.]A.B.C; > Children have direct visibility of their ancestors' visible part. > So why shouldn't "with A.B" imply "with A"? Playing devil's advocate, why visibility of A.B in C should imply that D depends on A.B when D has "with A.B.C;" The point is that if deduction of dependencies is allowed in some cases it should be allowed everywhere. If it is not allowed somewhere it should not be anywhere. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
