    I had your suggestion and read the book and web sites written by Terry
    Halpin on ORM. I took the test and I failed (and I am not blaming anyone).

    In ORM, are there cases where an object is a child of object and vice versa?
    In the book and web site, I didn't see those cases and I am confused.
